The FAA last established a national defense airspace over Montana for an unidentified object

So here's the $64 question -- has China released a shitton of these to fray Biden's nerves? Classic PLA tactic to bait an enemy "to keep him on the march", quoting Sun Tzu.
A worthy adversary, like President Trump, would order a cordon of Chinese airspace and snag every. single. one. out of the air as soon as it left Chinese airspace. Apache helos and Ospreys can be fitted with long grappling hooks. Just shut down the entire ops.
Then retaliate by scrambling every Chinese space launch and 'mysteriously' send them all to the ground. No successful launches for a year. Punish these godless mandarin f-rs and make them walk on their knees to the negotiation table.
