Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning on Tuesday reiterated that the “unmanned airship” posed no threat and entered U.S. airspace accidentally.
Mao again criticized the U.S. for overreacting rather than adopting a “calm, professional" manner, and for using force in bringing the balloon down Saturday in the Atlantic Ocean just off the U.S. coast.
Asked if China wanted the debris returned, she only reasserted that the balloon “belongs to China."
“The balloon does not belong to the U.S. The Chinese government will continue to resolutely safeguard its legitimate rights and interests," Mao said at a daily briefing without giving further details.

Box up the trash and ship it back to them in three months like they did with our P3 they knocked down a few years back.
So they are asserting that they have a "legitimate right" to overfly the USA any time they want? They are more nuts than I thought.
The Chicoms own the White House and most of Congress and we’re obsessing over what they might have seen with this 19th century ballon technology.

Mao’s back in charge? First name is family name, right?
Well, in their point of view, no other nation has any legitimate claim to sovereignty. Only the Middle Kingdom has such claim.

You don’t know what technology is there, and specifically what it was doing, until you can examine it.
If it was an 18th century balloon, do you think their spokespeople would be adopting this tone? Or do you think they would blow it off?
If they were just flying balloons to fly them, like chinese lanterns, then they’d be like “psh... we can make more”
So....can we float a huge balloon over China then? Asking for a friend.
Coming from a Regime that freaks out at the drop of a hat ,LOL
They OWN the White House! What on God’s green earth could they have discovered with the most advanced tech mounted on a balloon, satellite or spy that they couldn’t have ordered up from their DC stooges. This is a non issue other than it’s value to distract.

I’m not worried about what they got if anything. It’s the violation of our air space and the hesitation to do anything about it until the reaction against it got bad enough to force them to act.
The chinks just flicked a bugger at us.
“Safeguard interests”?
They’re going to protect Biden?
Not surprising. He’s a valuable asset.
This Chicom balloon is way down on the list of incompetent and traitorous acts the DC junta is responsible for.

I have a list too. The Awan brothers, the “hacking” of the OPM database, Fang Fang, DiFi’s driver, the Wuhan lab are among them. No one was ever sent to prison for any of it.
It took his crack-head son off the front page.
Same with classified documents.
Agreed.
