Back to the Chinese balloon again guys. I'm a bit confused about the legality of US actions to shoot it down -- not that US cares about international law, unless it suits them.

What is sovereign airspace in terms of altitude? When does it become international space, like international waters according to UNCLOS? Is the 60,000ft the limit?

I would imagine below the Kármán line at 100km, which is considered the start of space as defined by the FAI; is considered sovereign. So 60k ft or 18.288km is well below that.

I think China shouldn't reciprocate immediately but do an assessment and make a decision of the issue a month or two after Feb 11. This will let South Korea knows there are consequences for it by following USA's political posturing.

I'd be happy if China doesn't reciprocate and stick to its current arrangements for another 6 months at least; punishment (and education) must be dealt to the Koreans, it's the only way they'll learn. And because the Korean Covid situation is still a mess without any transparency.

So China still stop issuing visa to SK ppl coming to China? (since when?)

I think China should discourage Chinese to visit SK anyway .. give them a warning of safety concern

“We can confirm that the Chinese mission to the EU informed the [European External Action Service] that a delegation from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region – led by the Governor of the Region — would visit Brussels in February,” Peter Stano, the EU’s spokesman on foreign policy, said.

Huh? This seems highly unusual.
