China threatens ‘countermeasures’ against U.S.

Published

Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Wang Wenbin made the remarks during a press conference

The People’s Republic of China threatened to take action against agencies in the United States responsible for destroying and recovering one of its surveillance balloons.

After being shot down by the U.S. government on February 4 over the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South Carolina—the surveillance balloon has been a topic of discussion daily for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China.

However, the spokesperson remained vague regarding the proposed countermeasures.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy is collecting debris from the shot down Chinese spy balloon and the FBI continues to analyse it.

Since then, three mysterious objects were shot down over the United States.

Crews continue efforts to locate those downed balloons in northern Alaska, the Yukon and Lake Huron.

National Security Council Strategic Communication Coordinator John Kirby discussed the possible nature of the mysterious objects: “These balloons very well could be of a completely benign nature perhaps a commercial or scientific research is sort of a focus there.”

On Capitol Hill there are more questions than answers surrounding all of the incidents.

Bipartisan calls are growing louder for President Joe Biden to formally address the American people on this serious issue regarding America’s national security.

“The President needs to find the courage to get in front of the American public and tell them what he knows,” said Kansas Senator Roger Marshall.

Marshall continued, “The President can get in front of America and tell them firsthand that we’re safe, that everybody’s gonna be ok, that we’ve got this under control—but America needs a strong leader to step forward.”

PM Keir Starmer faces pressure over Epstein links and party unrest, with approval at 20% amid resignation calls.

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is under intense political pressure as he risks becoming the first UK leader linked to the Epstein scandal. His approval rating has plummeted to just 20 percent, leaving him vulnerable to criticism from within Labour and raising fresh questions about his leadership.

The party has faced further turbulence following the resignation of Peter Mandelson, who stepped down amid revelations over his ambassadorial appointment and an ongoing police investigation. This latest development has intensified scrutiny on Labour’s senior figures and added to concerns about instability at the top.

Opposition from Labour lawmakers continues to grow, with increasing calls for Starmer to resign despite support from cabinet members. Many fear that a leadership challenge could deepen divisions within the party and create wider economic uncertainty.

Protesters clashed with police in Sydney, resulting in 27 arrests amid tensions over Israeli President Herzog’s visit.

Tensions flared in Sydney on Thursday as protesters clashed with police during a rally opposing the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Authorities arrested 27 people, including 10 accused of assaulting officers, after crowds attempted to breach barricades near the city.

Hundreds of police were deployed to enforce new protest restrictions, introduced following recent violent demonstrations, and pepper spray was used as officers tried to maintain order. Protesters waved Palestinian flags and carried signs condemning the ongoing conflict in Gaza, voicing anger over the timing of Mr Herzog’s visit.

The unrest highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding international politics and local security measures, with authorities balancing the right to protest against public safety concerns.

Under the agreement, Nationals frontbenchers will return to the shadow cabinet by March 1. This move signals a return to unified leadership as both parties aim to present a stronger front in parliament.

As part of the compromise, three senators who broke party solidarity during a recent vote face a six-week suspension. All shadow ministers will also sign an agreement to uphold cabinet unity and prevent future splits.
