China’s foreign ministry spokesman, Wang Wenbin, accused the U.S. of flying high-altitude balloons over Chinese airspace without permission more than 10 times since the beginning of 2022.
-
The U.S. swiftly denied the accusation and dismissed it as an attempt at damage control by Beijing.
-
National Security Council spokeswoman, Adrienne Watson, said in a statement that the U.S. government does not operate surveillance balloons over China and that it is China that has a high altitude surveillance balloon program for intelligence collection connected to the People’s Liberation Army.
-
China accused the U.S. of overreacting after the U.S. shot down a Chinese surveillance balloon off the coast of South Carolina on February 4. China said the balloon was a civilian research craft that had mistakenly blown off course.
-
The U.S. defense department did not respond to a request for comment.
-
Gregory Poling, an Indo-Pacific maritime security expert, said he was not aware of any U.S. use of balloons for surveillance, but added that he suspected none of them would know for sure.
