The United States has overreacted by frequently using advanced missiles to shoot down unidentified flying objects, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin at a press briefing in Beijing on Monday.
Wang made the remarks in response to a question about U.S. military fighter jets shooting down a flying object over Lake Huron on Sunday, the fourth one shot down by a U.S. missile after a Chinese civilian unmanned airship accidentally entered U.S. airspace due to force majeure a little more than a week ago.
People will put up with a lot more shit at home if they think they’re doing it to fight an evil enemy. The US will be promoting the ‘rationing spirit’ before long. (Arguably we’ve already seen this in response to rising energy prices and Ukraine.)
