I definitely think that watching the US response to learn their priorities when their air space is invaded was part of that.

They are testing the waters aside from spying out our weaknesses.

Should have been shot down long ago.

Now the whole world knows our response, and it likely laughing up a storm over it.

We are so screwed.

The Chinese also proved to themselves that they could use such large balloons to smuggle large materials (e.g., small nuclear devices) into CONUS and parachute them in remote areas for later retrieval by operatives. Same concept for pathogens and disease vectors.

Changes the subject from Biden's classified files AND Hunter's laptop (along with Chinese payoffs) to LOOK SOMETHING SHINY!

China , in collaboration with Democrats and pretend Republicans, launched a Virus upon America in order to steal the elections for their own choice. Why not demonstrate to the World the power they have achieved over their greatest enemy?

Fake, Criminal, POTUS, Joe Biden & his Democrat Cronies,served their Chinese Communist Bosses well by letting their tracking balloon float completely across the entire USA before they took action to shoot it down!!! The CCP got everything they wanted from old Joe Biden and company!!! Sad...Many Americans have no clue as to the future dangers Biden has brought forth!!!

I,for one, will not be watching/listening to one word that Biden utters in his “State Of The Union” address, this coming Tuesday evening. Wake up Fellow Americans...Wise up Fellow Americans...the Biden, handwriting is clearly on the wall for all to see and hear!!! Pass up on the Biden speech..period!!!

“Sends message that US isn’t willing or able to control its airspace”

Interesting to me that the Air Force is running ads with a tag line: “We own the sky”
Always remember, when a banana republic has to tell you what it is or does, it is lying.

Excellent point. You might include in that list radio and telecommunication relays.

Anybody notice how the Hot Story “China has massive COVID outbreak” suddenly disappeared from the world view?

Estimates of 900 Million we’re infected and bodies stacking up outside Crematoriums SUDDENLY STOPPED !!!!

Just like popping a balloon, poof it’s gone.

Let us not forget that the gender reveal balloon (It’s a He/She/It!) from Chyna was first over ALASKA! It could have been shot down in a remote area! How about Canaduh? Do they let gender reveal balloons freely overfly their country?

Yup, rehearsal for a future deployment of a dozen equipped with EMP devices.

National suicide with wide open borders… wide open skies overhead. This is so obvious that it’s intentional, and Congress does NOTHING.

“I definitely think that watching the US response to learn their priorities when their air space is invaded was part of that.”

If the US won’t protect its own airspace, what is the expectation that it will actively work with Taiwan on protecting their airspace?

The interviewer is an airhead - asking silly questions, then asking a question and immediately before getting an answer, asking a contradictory question.

Neither knows anything about surveillance - Chang gives stock answers as usual. Can’t blame him as the questions are so dumb.

PS If you watch the video be sure to bring plenty of eye bleach. Fortunately, after the first few minutes, it descends into unwatchable territory, and you can skip the rest.
