China sends spy balloon over Taiwan

Taipei, Taiwan - Taiwan claimed earlier today that China (The People's Republic of China) has sent a spy balloon, similar to what happened in the United States last year. China has long claimed the island of Taiwan as belonging to them and has ever since been committed to adding it to the nation. The balloon was close to the Taiwanese coast, at around 111 kilometers. This was also followed by Chinese aircraft and ships nearby. The Taiwanese government has since been on higher alert.
