Taiwan denounced the entry of another unknown balloon into its airspace

The authorities of Taiwan They denounced this Friday that a world whose origin remains unknown entered the north of the island.

The Armed Forces announced that they followed the ball until it left its space and added that, during its passage, presented no hazard for transport in the areaas detailed in a statement released and collected by the official agency CNA.

In any case, “as it could affect aviation safety, we have notified aviation control units to remind aircraft to be cautious,” the letter adds.

The first investigations suggest that it would be an object with meteorological purposes y did not explicitly target China.

This episode follows the autonomous island’s denunciation a week ago, after finding remains of what was believed to be another crashed Chinese weather instrument.

Last Friday, a device with parts registered with a public electronics company in Taiyuan City landed in Tungyin, one of Taiwan’s outer islands.

Taiyuan Wireless Radio First Factory Ltd. is one of the companies that supply of equipment to the China Meteorological Agency Thus, a spokesperson for the company admitted having provided the electronic components found but denied having built the balloon.

It would therefore have been one of many devices that the regime launches daily to monitor the weather and which usually fly at an average maximum altitude of 30,000 meters.

To this, the Department of Defense announced that increase patrols of military installations and would shoot down any target that posed a “high level of threat” to its sovereignty -although so far he has not encountered any-.

Similarly, on February 14, ministry spokespersons revealed that in the past they had detected the presence of Chinese balloons on the island, although they did not provide details on the number or the frequency of these.

“They come very frequently; the last, just a few weeks ago,” a senior Taiwanese official simply added.

These actions are in line with the position adopted by beijing in the last years of intensify military, diplomatic and economic pressure on the island, which he has sworn to conquer one day – even by force, if necessary – and which each time appears as a more real threat.

For its part, UNITED STATES stay alert after many of these objects will enter your airspace and, even, the first of them would actually turn out to be a Xi Jinping regime’s spy device.

The balloon flew over areas of military assets for several days and was ultimately shot down on the orders of the President Joe Biden on the coast of the state of Carolina, when it no longer posed any danger to the population of the region.

Since then, the Washington intelligence services have denounced a surveillance program orchestrated by the Chinese military and they warned their peers about this type of maneuver.
