White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre revealed on Thursday that the government is considering taking action against China and its entities connected to the balloon incident.
"We will also look at broader efforts to expose and address the PRC's (People's Republic of China) larger surveillance activities that pose a threat to our national security and to the security of our allies and partners," Jean-Pierre stressed.
The congressional lower chamber unanimously passed a resolution denouncing China's flying of high altitude balloon above continental United States, which is believed to be used for surveillance purposes. Previously, China's Foreign Ministry accused Washington of "playing up" the threat Beijing represents to it.
