This is really a nothing burger news piece, China probably has half a dozen satellites looking at us at all times, and a few thousand spies working in the USA at any one time. My gut feeling is the spies on the ground is where the bulk of their intelligence probably comes from.

What is more news worthy is the little snippet of news included in Story is the USA might be in war with the Chinese in the near future, basically our government, or the swamp dwellers want us to believe the Chinese are a big threat to America (whether they are or not) so Americans will become MORE dependent on our government to protect them from the real evil country for good or bad.

In my last comment I said they included a little snippet in the article, actually I got that snippet on the TV talking about the same thing while I was writing last comment.

It’s not like the Chinese don’t already know our secrets anyway.

Spy satellites are in space, and are thus outside of our sovereign jurisdiction - according to International Law.

This spy balloon is still in the atmosphere, and is thus violating our air space. It should be shot down immediately - if only on principle!

Regarding "thousands of spies working in the U.S.," you are mixing apples and oranges; they are allowed to continue spying only if we derive a greater benefit from monitoring their activities and "feeding" them bogus info. Otherwise, if they are unknown - well, then there's not much we can do about them.

Known spies should be arrested immediately. If they are U.S. citizens, they should be charged with espionage and treason.

Do you dispute anything I've just written?

Regards,

But a balloon can be used to drop sensors into sensitive areas.
