"Affected by the weather and with limited self-control capabilities, the airship seriously deviated from its planned route and strayed into the skies over Latin America and the Caribbean, Mao said."

In response to reports that a second Chinese balloon was flying over Latin America, FM spokeswoman Mao Ning said it has been verified that the relevant unmanned airship comes from China & it is "of a civilian nature" and "used for flight tests" - GT

China urged the US to handle the balloon accident in a calm, professional and restrained manner, but the US insistence on using armed force in disregard of China’s position and demands is obviously...

JESSIE 😂😂😂 #LoveIsland

Tom was saved?!!!! #LoveIsland

I really feel for Tanyel. Olivia’s stirring the pot about her and Ron, while kissing the only man she’s shown an interest in. I get the sense she’s guarded, but hurting & needs a hug. #LoveIsland

Recent signs sent from US on China have been utterly chaotic, which may bring more uncertainty to strained relations. Analysts urged US to be sincere in fixing relations with China instead of making provocative actions, especially amid the balloon stunt. globaltimes.cn/page/202302/12

Story in The Paper today about a factory in Zhongshan setting off firecrackers to celebrate getting back to work and production post-Covid... ...only some of the firecrackers entered the building, and it caught fire 🤦‍♀️ weibo.com/5044281310/Mrg

Filing this one under weird - a guy in Ziyang, Sichuan, has been given a 600 yuan (roughly 70 quid) fine and four points on his licence… for driving with a wrench as a steering wheel.

Ron keeps on talking about winning but he’s more focused on his competition than the prize, and Lana can see right through it. #LoveIsland

Story today in Guangdong: a man got home to his 3rd floor flat yesterday & couldn’t find his dog; surveillance hadn’t shown it leaving. Turns out it had jumped off the balcony & got stuck on a telephone pole?! Power had to be turned off early hours so the dog could be rescued.

Could it be any more obvious this guy works in airport security. *Nothing* gets past him!!! #LoveIsland

SHAQ ATTACK!!! #LoveIsland

Lana and Tanyel. YES! Love this for them #LoveIsland

Nah I actually think Tanyel knows exactly what she’s doing. She used Ron before to make Kai jealous. This time Storm Tanyel’s going to take them both down. #LoveIsland

I thought Shaq was going to ask Tanya to be his girlfriend - HE DROPPED THE L BOMB?! #LoveIsland

I don’t think I’m emotionally ready for this #LoveIsland recoupling…

Wild story in The Paper today - a 16-year-old boy seeking to get his QZone social network account unblocked was getting nowhere via Tencent's customer service channels. So he travelled 1,400+km (nearly 900 miles) to company headquarters 😂 thepaper.cn/newsDetail_for
