Editing 2023 China balloon incident

On Feb 2, 2023, [[NORAD]] announced that it was tracking a Chinese balloon which had entered North American airspace. The hysterical pro-war US media which has been promoting the New Cold War has been calling it a "surveillance balloon." 

China denies these accusations and has said "It is a civilian airship used for research, mainly meteorological, purposes. Affected by the Westerlies and with limited self-steering capability, the airship deviated far from its planned course."<ref>[https://www.mfa.gov.cn/eng/xwfw_665399/s2510_665401/202302/t20230204_11019704.html Foreign Ministry Spokesperson’s Remarks on US Annoucement of the Postponement of Secretary of State Blinken’s Visit to China] Spokeswoman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry Mao Ning</ref>

''China Daily'' reported: "To spy on the US with a balloon, one must both fall far behind to use a 1940s technology and be advanced enough to control its flight across the ocean. Those fabricating the lie are only exposing their ignorance."<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/feb/02/pentagon-chinese-spy-balloon Pentagon says it is monitoring Chinese spy balloon spotted flying over US] by [[The Guardian]]</ref>
