Washington: Not only America (USA), China Spy Balloon was monitoring 40 countries. Such sensational information came forward. As soon as China's mysterious balloon was seen in the American sky, a lot of tension and chaos started. On the one hand, America claims that China has sent spy balloons to monitor US military bases. On the other hand, China claims that the huge balloon was flown not for surveillance, but to collect meteorological and scientific data, which lost its way due to the wind and entered the airspace of the United States. The spy balloon was launched last week. Since then, the US-China relationship is getting more complicated. The suspected balloon, sent by China, was able to pick up communication signals, the US said on Thursday. The plane flew over 40 countries. Doubtful, China has collected defense information from every country.
Missiles were launched from the US warplanes and dropped into the Atlantic Ocean last Saturday. Parts of the balloon have already been recovered from the sea. Aircraft parts were recovered from there. These parts have already been sent to FBI headquarters in Quantico for testing. America claims that the spy balloon was monitoring the nuclear launch pad base in Montana.
"We know that surveillance balloons sent by the People's Republic of China have flown over a total of 40 countries on five continents," a US State Department official said on Thursday. The Biden administration is contacting those countries directly about this matter."
The official said that the US is certain that the Chinese balloon was sent for surveillance and secret information collection over various countries. It is also alleged that the Chinese Red Army often engages in such activities. The official further claimed that the Chinese army has direct contact with the manufacturer of the balloon and the order for the manufacture of this balloon was also given by the Chinese army.
On the other hand, although the balloon was accepted by China as their own, it was reported that it was not sent for surveillance. China claims the balloon was flown for meteorological research, but was diverted by wind and entered US airspace. Beijing accused the US of violating international law by shooting down the balloon missile.
