The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Sunday (February 5) expressed its strong dissatisfaction and protest over the use of force by the United States side to attack an unmanned Chinese civilian airship.
An American military fighter jet shot down the airship off the coast of South Carolina on Saturday.
Beijing condemned the shooting down of the balloon as an overreaction and urged Washington to show restraint.
“China firmly opposes and strongly protests against this,” Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng said.
