In early February, several Chinese balloons were identified. Over America and Canada, it caused a lot of controversy between these countries.

China’s foreign ministry expressed regret for this action of the US and called this balloon a weather balloon. Khand, but the Americans insisted that these balloons were spies.
The passage of ships, military planes and now Chinese balloons across the middle line in the Taiwan Strait has always been at the top of the news between Beijing and Taipei in recent months.
Crossing the middle line of the Taiwan Strait and entering the air defense detection zone of this island since early August 2022, when Nancy Pelosi, the then Speaker of the US House of Representatives from Taiwan visited, it became much more.
Military analysts believe that the purpose of China’s military maneuvers is to break Taiwan’s morale, tire pilots and military personnel of this island, and wear out their equipment.
China has repeatedly warned the authorities of Taiwan and the western supporters of the island about “separatist” tendencies and announced that it will use all means, including the military option, to prevent Taiwan’s separation from China.
Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Army General “Charles Brown” recently said in an interview that everyone should be worried about the conflict with China, especially in connection with a possible attack on Taiwan.
