BEIJING: China on Friday blamed the United States for violating its obligations under the Convention on International Civil Aviation, also known as Chicago Convention, and multiple basic principles of international law, as it has "slanderously" described China's civilian unmanned airship as a "spy balloon" and engaged in the abuse of force.
Wang Wenbin, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, made the accusation at a press briefing in response to a query about the US ongoing "analysis and investigation into" the unmanned airship that was shot down by the US military after its unexpected entry into the US airspace.
