Description
Beijing says on Friday it has 'no intention of violating the territory or airspace of any sovereign country' after US claims that it flew a spy balloon over US territory.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning says she hope both sides will handle the matter "with mutual calm and prudence".
The incident comes just days before a planned visit to China by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, with heightened tensions between the two powers at the top of the agenda. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
