China, which has expressed regret over the incident, said on Saturday it had "never violated the territory and airspace of any sovereign country".

It added that Beijing "would not accept any groundless conjecture or hype" and accused "some politicians and media in the United States" of using the incident "as a pretext to attack and smear China." The incident angered top US officials, with Mr Blinken saying he had told Beijing the balloon's presence was "a clear violation of US sovereignty and international law" and "an irresponsible act" on the eve of his visit to China.

But plans faltered after US defence officials announced they were tracking a giant surveillance balloon over the US on Thursday.

Bulls**t meter has gone into overdrive. A load of drivel !

So surely the pics that maybe taken are on Google earth

ONE SPY BALLOON AT LOST PROPERTY OF THE MYRTLE BEACH USA PROOF OF OWNERSHIP WHEN CLAIMING PROPERTY Unclaimed Property will be auction.

I suppose it makes a change from the Russians.

China balloon? It’s the china that they did it…🙄

'Taking care' means, of course, blowing it up. No need to prove it to be of espionage nature. Compare to 2016, when China seized a US Navy operated underwater drone in South China Sea for the safety of civilian activity nearby, and returned it to the US immediately.

O'bidens piggy bank, with all due respect!

BBC is a corrupt propaganda machine - Biden is controlled and owned by the CCP - you have become a joke

FrTedQOTD in a Julie Andrews way, or more of an Al Pacino?

Found this balloon Hang on that’s my birthday balloon ! 🤣

Why use a missile when a pin would have done it ?

if China has now owned it then what do they expect?

Too late ⏰

PedoJoe must be ecstatic, he finally had an opportunity to give an order to shoot something down! 😏🥴🤡

可惜 好大的汤圆爆了 祝大家元宵节快乐

Fake script

Ah so! not our barroon Amelica!

That was no moon...

But only after China got all the information it needed.

chunkymark Biggest laugh is they didn’t know it was there.. until a normal punter said it was. I often spend time trying to explain to people that tech is not as all seeing and knowing as tech co’s would try to have us to believe.

Reports have come in why Biden is now eager to remove the balloon.

🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ Too little - too late!

Now that the CCP has all the data it was after 🙄

Already done

It needed a missile to bring a balloon down really, big pin would have done the job or 1 second of rapid fire of a machine gun

The Chinese can control the height of the balloon by adding or reducing the helium. How do they control it's direction of travel That's based on which ever way the wind blows.🌬️🎐 Clearly, it was accidentally blown towards the US.🧐

Lol , bad stunt , F joke

Calm down ffs ....It's only Harry Kanes' penalty ball re-entering the atmosphere ... 🤣🤣🤣

It’s a balloon !!! Stupid to send it , creates a stupid reaction! These governments need to grow up .

Biden gonna suck the helium out of it. That will be hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

They fired at missile at a balloon 🤷‍♂️

World war 3 😂😂Stop making a mountain out of a mole hill man dear me it’s a balloon for good sake like our government they all balloons

Looks like a prawn cracker

Dam you guys That's not how you shoot down biological Warfare weapon Balloon It could be Boobie trapped Ie biological Warfare germ You suppose 2do big ball of fire🔥Explosion in front about size of 4 football Fields 2 kill the biological Warfare weapon from getting out

I proprietari del pallone dovevano avvisare autorità canadesi e u.s.a che un pallone era fuori controllo forse danno era minore

need to update there news more often.. ChineseSpyBalloon has been taken care of by JoeBiden .. only took 4 days.. like his jogging to lectern..

Looking forward to the selective list of equipment recovered from the wreckage. Don’t mention the barometer 🤫

Another distraction! But 99.96% of the World already programmed population wouldn't know this! David Icke and Jordan Maxwell will tell you this! Nothing is incidental, but deliberately planned out. Just to distract the blind and feed them constant deception!

I’ve sent you a WhatsApp message check your messages

Defo not a Chinese balloon… It was Harry Kane’s penalty still gaining altitude. 😂

Babylon Bee called it right.

Wow, the USA is going to shoot down a balloon. Trillions dollar army can shoot a balloon.

Anyone heard from richardbranson ?

Once it's finished doing its job 😂

They were only dropping fortune cookies.

You're going full Fox News on this balloon on news channel.

Fortune Cookie carrier

Yeah, like the looming debt, or the border, or ...

Yeah sure but after multiple days 🙄 Should have shot it down after it was identified

Have all the surveillance satellites stopped working ?.

Roswell mark 2!

ChinaSpyBalloon balloon

Sure, several days after it has already done it’s job!

They've launched a non nuclear pin at it apparently.

Like they did with Nordstream 2,

This seems pretty low tech for spying

So did the Chinese government just pay hunter biden millions of dollars to make sure the big guy POTUS let a spy balloon survey our missile silos? Asking for a concerned public?

US trying trigger war with China now God help us all

It’s a bit late now when it’s covered all of the vital nuclear, military & sensitive ares in the USA.

Too busy sending stuff to Nazi Ukraine

By then, China must have extract all valid information.

Sweet.

He's owned by China. He won't do nothing.

It should’ve been shot down once it was within 12 miles of land, after that, worrying about tensions with China is irrelevant.

I read today how China Are accused of trying to spy By using a balloon that floats up Really really high It’s just a harmless airship, though, They’ve now been asked to stop it ‘Keep that balloon away or we Will feel compelled to pop it’

About 4 days to late USA can't protect it's air space

🙄

Hide it in his garage then

I’m sure Brandon will find a way to screw this up too

You idiot you should wake up before they send other things bloody hell America get a grip

Old pedo biden hasn't a clue

I think Joe has already forgotten about it…

Acting like the US aren't doing the same in china 🤣🤣🤣

To F’in late you W⚓️

So far IMO Biden is taking good care of the balloon. And it is still spying.

To the moon woof and bonk Buy....

Nations spy on each other and us so what

Shoot it down. Really it Should have been done when it entered USA air space if they didn't know what it is. And not just left too fly over the USA gathering Info etc

A balloon? They can hear me talking through my fridge and dishwasher and then send a balloon? Jog on.

And the one overflying South America

I wonder what “take care of it” means? Definitely not mafia words

Let it do all its surveillance then shoot it down, cracking job

It’s a mind altering device that’s sending low frequency signals to slowly meld the brains synapses until they create new pathways aligned with the policies of communist China! 🤣

All hot air,it's just a joke (if it contains helium).

Stop chiuso stop no stop chiuso china stop chiuso stop no stop chiuso stop no Usa stop Chiuso stop no stop chiuso stop no Jordan Belfort stop chiuso stop no stop US stop no

Take it out with “alien tech” from outer space and give Xi and Poots something to think about.

Another lie by the usa

Yes! Just like immigration. Hay JoeBiden give the Chinese balloon problem to KamalaHarris I’m ready for another word salad.

Yeah by letting the thing just float on by.. 😂🤣

Puppet.

Poor Joe's to slow its already been dealt with by ...

Day late and a dollar short Joe....Xi's already made you and the military look like completely incompetent fools in the eyes of the world. Not that you needed any help in that arena.

Oh no, is it not well Joe! 😂

Quick! Build a wall, Chyna is comin' 😂

BeijingBarry

The very idea that POTUS let this 'issue' escalate to the point where it became a national media sensation is feckless incompetency. Instead, he orders DoD to create Balloon Forces Defense unit (BFD).

If it is in US air-space, u authorised + then shoot it down.

After the conclusion of its mission.

What a let down.

How about reporting on the vaccine 💉 injured !!!!!

NOT MR Joe Biden...PRESIDENT Joe Biden

Airline takeoffs halted at Myrtle Beach airport presumably in support of national defense

Now Joe has realised the balloon isn't going to attract any children for him to sniff he wants it gone.

Meeeee

Must have completed its mission

Joe Biden’s effort to remake the economy is ambitious, risky—and selfishCongress has passed three bills that will make $2trn available to reshape America’s economy. But there are questions about whether the government is up to managing the most ambitous industrial policy in decades Central planning never works… I’m all ears 😍 Unfortunately, the record of congressional oversight and management of big spending legislation is not good. Hope lessons learned will make a difference this time because the infrastructure bill is important to the nation.
