China says US balloons entered airspace 'more than 10 times' in last year

Beijing says that Washington sent balloons into its airspace more than 10 times since January 2022, deepening a row between the two powers after an alleged Chinese surveillance craft was shot down over the United States.

"It's also common for US balloons to illegally enter the airspace of other countries" says Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Wang Wenbin.
