The head of the Pentagon said that his call was rejected by the Minister of Defense of China after the situation with the Chinese balloon

The US Defense Secretary said he tried to reach his Chinese counterpart Wei Fenghe after the US Air Force shot down a Chinese air probe off the coast of North Carolina. According to Lloyd Austin, the head of the Chinese Ministry of Defense did not answer the call.

Lloyd Austin:



My application for a call in Beijing was rejected. It was February 4th, right after we hit their balloon. Unfortunately, they rejected the call.

Recall that immediately after the balloon was shot down, the US Navy began an operation to collect fragments of this object, which they called espionage. According to the American version, the Chinese deliberately launched the device in the direction of Canada and the United States, so that it would conduct a detailed survey of military facilities from a height of 20-25 km with data transmission to the Chinese military department.

At the moment, no information has been received from the United States that spy equipment was found among the fragments. However, it can be assumed that sooner or later the Pentagon will provide "evidence", even if they are fabricated.

In China itself, they protested in connection with the entire US military operation to destroy the probe, which Beijing called meteorological. It was pointed out that China reserves the right to respond in relation to American devices of this purpose.

    Well, in principle, now you can safely destroy communications satellites that interfere with the conduct of NWO in Ukraine. I remember that "Nudol" can cope well with this task. So there will be tests with a practical result. And it would not hurt to conduct these tests as demonstration tests for NATO.

    In the USA, the "Powell's Test Tube" syndrome has been worked out clearly, what's what, but they know how to lie. After a couple of three days, the statement from the State Department will fly out.

      A version appeared from Russian diplomats, attributing decency and nobility to Powell ... (although, living at public expense abroad, receiving dollars and ... blaspheming direct work partners - fool )
      It turns out that Colin demonstrated a test tube to show how a “teaspoon” of a poisonous substance looks like in nature. Naturally, he did not bring any poison into the Security Council, and it would be foolish to assert (support the idea of ​​this) that someone was not afraid to keep a potent poison in a test tube ...

    For some reason I’m sure of this.
    And so the Chinese behave commendably ... the second part of the Marleson ballet is yet to come.

    And if they didn’t show off and promised to give China the found remains of the equipment to China’s request, then perhaps they talked to you on the phone. But American pride is above all. At first, shamefully, for several days they decided what to do and how, and most importantly, how to shoot down, but then they began to show figs to the PRC. It's too late to show something when the whole world has been watching American helplessness for several days.

    So in China, BLM is not popular. So they didn't talk to the Negro. And his white master is not very respected.

    It's time to apply this practice to all officials from the United States and other aggressive countries ...

    As far as I understand, the airspace is regulated by international flight rules up to 100 km (Karman line). Low orbit from 160km. Why be offended? Or is it par for the course for weather balloons? The crap is flying in the sovereign space of the air ocean. I think ours would have been shot down too. Maybe they asked him not to shoot down? But I would still hit.

    It is very good that China spoke with the United States in their language. It is not clear how sincerely the Chinese are unhappy that the probe was shot down or their dissatisfaction is a deliberate provocation.
    If we assume that some international norms and laws are still in force, then we must proceed from the fact that the probe, being at an altitude of 20 km (and not 100, as stated in the very first messages), violated the US air border. If the object cannot be planted, then it is destroyed. Is not it?

    It is not clear why the "smoked" one needs such PR in the media that he was banned in China? Campaign, the world practice is developing ... to ban the Anglo-Saxons. The Minister of Defense of the Britons also could not get through to the RF Ministry of Defense, a fact.
