China “spy balloon” over US sparks diplomatic row – BBC News


A diplomatic row has erupted between the US and China after a balloon was spotted at high altitude in the skies over America, which it says is being used for surveillance.

It’s led to the Secretary of State Anthony Blinken cancelling a planned trip to China.

The Chinese have apologised and declared the balloon is used for scientific research, and that it could have blown off course.
