In a dramatic move, the United States government has shot down a high-altitude Chinese balloon that had been flying over the Atlantic Ocean. The incident has become a flashpoint in US-China tensions, and has been closely watched by the international community.

The US government has not yet released an official statement on the incident, but it is clear that the US-China tensions are only escalating. For more on this story, view our full coverage on USNN.
