US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s trip to China has been cancelled following the discovery of a Chinese spy balloon in the US airspace. The Pentagon has confirmed that another Chinese spy balloon is travelling over Latin America.

The balloon, which was spotted flying over the US, was equipped with surveillance equipment and was believed to be part of a Chinese espionage operation. Blinken’s trip to China, which was due to take place this week, has now been postponed, with the US State Department citing the balloon as the reason for the cancellation.

Experts have warned that if the Chinese spy balloon escapes US airspace, it could lead to an even bigger disaster. The US military has increased its surveillance of the sky in an effort to prevent the balloon from entering US airspace.

The discovery of the Chinese spy balloon has raised concerns about the security of US airspace. The US has called on China to explain the purpose of the balloon and to take steps to ensure that such incidents do not occur again.

The incident has also prompted calls for the US to strengthen its air defense capabilities. This comes at a time when tensions between the US and China are already high, with the two countries engaging in a trade war and a technology race.
