man they are arrogant..threatening the USA over THEIR spy balloon!
China said Wednesday it will take measures against U.S. entities related to the downing of a suspected Chinese spy balloon off the American East Coast.

At a daily briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin gave no details and did not identify the targets of the measures.

China says the balloon was a unmanned weather airship that was accidentally blown off course and accuses the U.S. of overreacting in bringing it down with a missile fired from an F-22 fighter jet.

Since the Feb. 4 downing of the balloon, the United States has sanctioned six Chinese entities it said are linked to Beijing’s aerospace programs.

While China denies the balloon was a military asset, it has yet to say what government department or company was responsible.
After initially expressing regret over the balloon's entry into U.S. airspace, China has returned spying accusations against Washington, alongside its threats of retaliation.
“China firmly opposes this and will take countermeasures in accordance with the law against the relevant U.S. entities that undermine China’s sovereignty and security,” Wang said at Wednesday's briefing.
China will “resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and its legitimate rights and interests," Wang said.

If they don’t want their balloons shot down, make sure they don’t go over US airspace.

Or have the kind of transparency that lets other governments know what kind of balloons they are. Just saying they aren't spy balloons or citing what meteorological mission it was on isn't helpful.

Ying Yang Wang Wenbin can take his threats and shove it. And so can his boss, Xi.
 
What to do if they send even more balloons? When will the US get in on the Balloon action?
