The story of the Chinese spying balloon against the United States
On Friday, American officials claimed that the United States was tracking a Chinese surveillance balloon that had been observed over the country’s airspace for several days.
A senior US defense official told reporters that the United States is highly confident that this Chinese balloon is flying at high altitudes to collect information about sensitive nuclear and missile sites in the United States.
One of the locations where the balloon was observed was Montana, where one of the three US nuclear missile storage facilities is located.
The balloon became so newsworthy that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken halted his trip to China.
The Chinese government has confirmed ownership of this balloon and stated that it is investigating the information.
The Pentagon announced on Sunday morning that it had spotted the second Chinese surveillance balloon over Latin America.
The US Secretary of State is confident that the identified Chinese balloon is being used for espionage purposes over the northern United States, and we have discussed this matter with our allies and partners.
