China has threatened to enact “countermeasures” against U.S. entities involved in the downing of its wandering spy balloon earlier this month, an incident that further crippled delicate relations between the global superpowers. In a briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said China “firmly opposes” the U.S. action and “will take countermeasures in accordance with the law against the relevant U.S. entities that undermine China’s sovereignty and security.” He added that Beijing will “resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and its legitimate rights and interests.” (https://news.yahoo.com/china-threatens-countermeasures-against-us-193544130.html) It is unclear what exactly those countermeasures are and which entities will be impacted.
