Xinhua News Agency posted a very brief readout of Blinken's phone call to his direct counterpart Wang Yi which appears to have taken place before Blinken postponed his trip to China. "As a matter of fact, neither China nor the U.S. has announced any visits,” China said previously when addressing Blinken’s postponed trip. “It is the U.S.'s own business to release relevant information, and we respect that.”The Chinese Foreign Ministry posted a new statement in a form of a Q&A on their website early Saturday and slammed those taking advantage of the massive surveillance balloon.

They also reiterated their denial that the surveillance balloon was being used to spy on the U.S., insisting that China has always abided by international law and that the balloon deviated from its scheduled route.

Diversion tactics, nothing is ever what it seems with chinese? Don't take anything fur face value!!😤😤😤😤😤

Trump would had taken it down alrady!!

Precaution better than cure, no one knows what genimorus China is after. Taken the firmament in hostage

War with China b4 2025 is imminent my people. Get ready guys.

Give me a f****** break

So we see it's a security threat for how many days? And our lack off president does nothing Democrats suck.. we are losing our farmland hog farms in our country because you dems keep letting it happen. Can't wait till this is China in years let's see how much they tolerate them

The U.S. needs to TAKE back all the properties owned by China in U.S. soil. They are our enemies and should not control anything here. All trade with China should be permanently terminated. STOP BUYING THEIR SHIT AND MAKING THEM RICHER OFF AMERICANS MONEY...!!

I don’t understand why can’t we shoot it down? Trump would have taken care of it as soon as this BS started TRUMP2024ToSaveAmerica

Really! Total uncalled for!🤬

I thought all balloons were Chinese anyways.

This is not new. This started last week on Alaska. Why is it now a problem?

Why don’t we send one over China ?

Why are they allowing China spy apparatus to spy.. this administration gas gotta go.. treasonous!!!

How is there a air force if the military doesn't know where they come from,how do they shoot it down?how do my ugly foster brother have this information he is how they track the u.s government get knocked off for ugly tate a radio robot

And you Americans thought Trump was a d**k?

Another one!!!!? This is making me nervous

They are gonna blow that crap up... and sent it back with a warning

Chipmunk

Yeah, shoot it down AFTER it's gathered all the intelligence 🤦‍♂️... this administration is a disgrace

So if a Chinese satellite passes over US, shall airspace be also shut down?

It was a biological weapon we ain't see through.

Go figure! Biden got confused with the hot air balloon festival this weekend in DC

If it’s in our air space, why aren’t we just shooting it down?

Also this payload must be Quarantined for any biological agents

I feel strongly that we should shoot it down asap assuming that this is considered US air space - Can anyone tell me if the position and flight pattern is indeed our space? Thanks!!!

MrBeast first person to shoot it down gets a Million Dollars! GO!

Instead of shooting down should have hooked it as to not damage it and study it better

Shoot it down

UPDATE: The temporary flight restriction is now in effect until 3:30 p.m.

Slow Ass Response, WHAT A JOKE

They let this thing float across the entire US mainland... wtf

MAGA turd.

If the balloon is black, America has already shot it down.

The fact the our president has let this spy balloon float across our country and gather whatever info it wanted and send back to China is unconscionable. Even if/when we shoot it down the damage is done.

It contains dangerous viruses

It's a regrettable incident, beijing knows better. It's important that countries act with good faith towards each other. So much was lost in China and the US in WW2, do we really need another Pacific war?

Why? The balloon flies at 59,000feet, planes at cruise altitude at around 30,000feet (maybe a little more). Is that fear mongering?

What an embarrassment

Shoot the thing down instead of disrupting people's lives.

Impeach China Joe

if this all turns out to be some elaborate gender reveal I’m gonna be pissed

Do people think the US and other countries don’t do the same?

Any other country besides the u.s. would have shot this down already. What does that tell you? It is either ours or some kind of experiment that the govt knows about. But what the hell, lets blame someone and get the media to blow it out of control.

How do we know it’s Chinese? Could be Russian, or whatever…

Getting too close to Delaware?

All this because a weak, old man refuses to shoot it down😒

Why are they closing air space now?

The balloon has shown it can maneuver. This is no accident.

Really?

Joe Biden said earlier Saturday that the United States was 'gonna take care of' the CCP spy balloon, but did not elaborate on what that might mean. JudiciaryGOP 🇺🇸

This is a damn shame for or DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT showing such weakness!!

ABC news NBC news and CBS news all covered up the Biden corruption with China taken millions and now you act like you care

Shutting the barn door after the horses got out.

They should be removed from the sky before any information is acquired. How about hooking onto them and towing them down. They're obviously there for a reason and we shouldn't let them fulfil their purpose.

Heay American people reading this, just curious, What would trump had done?

This is ridiculous!!! Get it out of our airspace! Now we’re letting it disrupt our lives? In potentially countless and tragic ways! Who’s on first? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Just say it’s because our President is a weak pussy.

SHOOT IT DOWN STOP Embarrassing the US military what is wrong with you people. This Will not go away Americans are paying attention we’re watching and we will not stop talking about it

Clear evidence that this President is financially compromised to China. He's probably been waiting for permission from China to shoot it down.

Aeronautics 🎈

Serious question. What damage does all this coverage on TV and Social Media of the balloon event do to our National Security. We now that China of Russia would allow this kind of coverage

Our government knew this was coming well before it was over the mainland. We have this little thing called NORAD. Biden knew a month ago this was coming. He’s failed the American people again. I’m beginning to think Biden is beholden to CCP. China has already gathered information

Any other President would've seen this as a threat and taken it down. This is very telling.

Pop that shit down already!!!

After the Chinese get the data they wanted ?

Where’s Batman with his wonderful toys when u need him?

China owns Bidens whole family

shoot that fuckin thing down now

Why wasn’t it taken down if it crossed over into US air space ?! Sounds a bit unrealistic it wasn’t built here ? So anybody can cross over ? And we will just watch it ?! What’s going on w air space Security ?

We are debating a spy balloon ? What’s next a spy pigeon?

It’s almost as if they are mapping our wind patterns to see how a bio weapon would work..Biden and his whole administration should be charged with treason they are clearly Chinese assets and letting it happen.

just one question. No one has yet fallen ill with a new unknown strain of covid along the route of the balloon? Or some other unusual disease?

Attached Hunter to it and let it float away

Terrified over a balloon…helium is emasculating conservatives…

I hope while everyone is looking up someone is looking down!

US paper tiger

By 'take care of it', I'm sure he means refill the helium and send it on its way. 10% to the 'Big Guy' buys you good service.

Joe is bought and paid for by the Chinese. He isn't going to do a damn thing. 😒

ردا على سؤال حول ما إذا كانت الولايات_المتحدة ستسقط البالون_الصيني ، قال الرئيس جو_بايدن يوم السبت إن الولايات المتحدة 'ستتعامل' مع بالون_التجسس_الصيني المشتبه به والذي تم تعقبه وهو يطير عبر الولايات المتحدة.

I think they are checking if their civilian police stations in US and Canada are ok

Plans are already underway to get Biden up to 60,000 feet so he can pop it.

and his speech was accompanied by:

Using a balloon when it has a fleet of spy satellites isn't about intelligence gathering. It's about China humiliating Biden and America on the world stage.... And pointing out the fact that China owns us, and we are afraid to defend our own air space.

That’s all? 😂 He’s…just…worthless!

Balloon should be recovered intact; Blinken should do China visit

Nuc bomb inside the balloon , its a trap !

That’s the only thing our so called country’s leader can say to the American people 🤦‍♀️ Biden won’t take care of shit. That would jeopardize his business relationship with China

Surely the government is monitoring and taking air samples for everyone’s protection

It’s already too late to do something.

All the millions that the Biden family took from China is now being seen to world that the Chinese can get away with this kind of corrupt behavior because they payed for it

The Chinese spy balloon is bad, but the Chinese spyware app is still worseAnother Democratic senator on the Senate Intelligence Committee has raised the issue of banning TikTok. With a suspected Chinese spy balloon flying over Montana, perhaps now would be the time for all of our politicians finally to clamp down on Chinese spyware. nah The balloon is a nothingburger, but the Russian asset is real. PutinsPuppet 🇨🇳 Huawei has invested billions into spyware. Politicians in both Canada & America have too much to lose both in paybacks & pillboxes.
