China's civilian airship unintentionally entered U.S. airspace due to force majeure. The airship was shot down by a U.S. missile fired from an F-22 fighter jet despite the U.S. Department of Defense saying that the balloon posed no military or personal threat. Was it a lawful act? CGTN invites Huang Huikang, PhD, a member of the UN International Committee, to share his insights.
