0:27Now PlayingChina urged the US to stay “cool headed,” as Beijing looks into Biden administration claims that a Chinese spy balloon was flying over American territory near sensitive military facilities.
“We have no intention to violate other countries’ sovereignty and airspace,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told a regular news briefing Friday in Beijing. “We are gathering and verifying the facts. We hope the relevant parties will handle the matter in a cool-headed way.”
“Before it becomes clear what happened, any deliberate speculation or hyping-up will not help handling the matter,” she said.
The discovery of a Chinese spy balloon lingering at high altitude in the western US is threatening to overshadow US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit to Beijing, widely seen as a trip intended to normalize relations. Beijing has sought to create a constructive backdrop of the discussions with a series of commentaries in state media publication the People’s Daily calling for the two nations to find common ground.
