Chinese Ballon Flying over US

China has recommended “cool-headed” management of a dispute with a massive Chinese balloon that is traveling toward the eastern United States.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken canceled a trip to Beijing, calling the existence of the “spy” balloon “an irresponsible conduct.”

A second Chinese balloon was later spotted above Latin America, according to the US.

China apologized for the balloon over the US, claiming that it was a weather blimp that had been misdirected. When last seen, it was above Missouri.

This weekend, it’s anticipated to make its way to the east coast of America around the Carolinas.

Due to the risk of falling debris, the US has opted against shooting down the high-altitude airship.

The event occurs while tensions between the US and China are fraying.
