美方动用武力袭击我民用无人飞艇，这是明显过度反应。我们对美方这一做法表示严正抗议，保留使用必要手段处置类似情况的权利。
BEIJING, Feb.5 -- The US used force to attack China's civilian unmanned airship, which was an obvious overreaction, said Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense (MND), in a statement released on Sunday afternoon. “We solemnly protest this move by the US side and reserve the right to take necessary measures to deal with similar situations,” stressed the spokesperson.
