In Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said that the Chinese civilian unmanned airship strayed into the U.S. airspace, which was entirely an accidental incident caused by force majeure. China has explained the situation to the U.S. side many times. However, the United States abused force, overreacted, and escalated the situation, using this as an excuse to illegally sanction Chinese companies and institutions. China firmly opposes this, and will take countermeasures against relevant US entities that undermine China’s sovereignty and security in accordance with the law, and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and legitimate rights and interests.
