Recent detection of a Chinese balloon, that was hovering over US territory allegedly recollecting intelligence data, spawned alarm in the US Government and Pentagon. Although the possible security violation happened in the US, NATO’s Jens Stoltenberg remarked how NATO will remain vigilant also due to increased China’s intelligence activities in other countries as well as in Europe.

In the face of these security and commercial threats the European Union must work to adopt adequate countermeasures.
