The worst part about it is, they TOLD the American public about it. They could have just said nothing, none of us would know, but they WANT us to know. It's all part of the demoralization campaign, a nationwide struggle session. They want us to KNOW ours is a captured nation., bought off for the price of some crooked politicians.

Having dealt with airborne/spaceborne intelligence gathering (a very special TS clearance category) I don't think this is a spy device, it would be a very ineffective means of gathering information, drifting randomly around overhead.....and the Chinese know quite well that NORAD tracks space objects in "inches and ounces", literally, including all the space junk that astronauts have left orbiting around.
However, if it had sophisticated imaging technology sufficient to detect classified documents in unsecured garages that would be a consideration. |

I can only assume if we flew a couple balloons over China, they would also have no problem with it.

It's a test to see how far the Chinese can push their spying. To bad we don't have a device that can capture and retrieve it in order to see it's capability.

Biden can't possibly shoot down the spy balloon because it would upset his boss - China.

Reminds me of the Japanese balloon bombs sent over the US and Canada during WW2. Couple of people were blown up in Washington a few years ago when they stumbled across one in the forest. This is some truly, truly insidious shit. The fact we let it be further reinforces the badge of cowardice and weakness we are presenting to the world.

And if we let a “a civilian airship used for research, mainly meteorological, purposes” float over their country, would the Chinese react in a similar manner of doing nothing and attempting to downplay it?
I think not. |

I don't know. They seem to be very reasonable people to deal with.
