The discovery of a Chinese surveillance balloon over the U.S. poses an immediate challenge for Antony Blinken on his first visit to Beijing as secretary of state

China’s access to sensitive semiconductor technology have further soured Beijing’s outlook on an improved relationship.

“Beijing views ‘guardrails’ as an attempt to make it safe for American military assets to operate close to China, which is contrary to their interests,” said Bonnie Glaser, director of the German Marshall Fund’s Asia program. U.S. officials have been vague about what setting up “guardrails” in the relationship would even look like, other than a commitment to increasing communication.Militarily, the growing number of close calls increases the risk of fatal maneuvers, such as the 2001 collision of a U.S. military surveillance aircraft and a Chinese fighter jet near Hainan Island, which led to the death of a Chinese pilot and sparked an international row.

Easy decision... Shoot it down!

Stratospheric balloons r a platform of choice for scientists engineers,they can b used to test advance spacescience for farless than the cost of a satellite 40xs less provide a opportunity to carryout concrete scientific experiments n a short period of time obtain results quickly

Biden already failed. China found out what they wanted about this administration’s response.

The discovery of a Chinese surveillance balloon over the U.S. poses an immediate and embarrassing challenge for China as Secretary Blinken has put on hold on his first visit to Beijing as Secretary of State.

That the Chinese would fly the surveillance balloon over the country just as Blinken was to head to Beijing reveals how very little respect and regard Beijing has for current US 'leadership.'

The united states normally send worst stuff,drones et al,to others’ neighbourhoods.I mean they are now s*tting their pants over a balloon 🎈.For God’s sake why not just ask kids in the nearby communities whether it’s their balloon🤷🏾‍♂️.😂😂

They sent a spy balloon over us and Biden wants to play nice. Lol.
