A Chinese language balloon over US skies triggers a diplomatic storm.
China and america have been at odds for a number of years.
A commerce struggle, tensions on Taiwan, the South China Sea and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – the fault strains have widened as Washington scrambles to counter Beijing’s rising financial and strategic affect.
However this week’s look of a large Chinese language balloon over the skies of North America is threatening to additional destabilise that relationship.
Washington says it's getting used to spy. In response, it cancelled a deliberate go to to Beijing by Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
China maintains it's a civilian climate balloon that was blown astray.
So, how will strained ties between the 2 greatest financial powers have an effect on the world?
