Following U.S. Downing of Suspected Spy Balloon, Beijing Signals Desire to Move On

U.S. jet fighters downed the balloon off the coast of South Carolina on Saturday, U.S. officials said. President Biden signaled earlier Saturday that the U.S. would address the balloon that had drifted above the country.

They know we have a week President and it is a great opportunity to take advantage.

It’s a Civilian not surveillance balloon, please conclude after investigate on the wreckages.

yeah! woooo! that’s my air force right there, and not a week too early either!

Mr. Russel said there is a chance the balloon’s removal can clear the way for the U.S. to reschedule Mr. Blinken’s visit to Beijing so the two sides can get back to work, though China’s next steps will matter.

Beijing’s response to ballon incident appears to be tougher, similar to their response to covid origin investigation. They may hope US may not find out substantial evidence ?

Americans?

Typical Chinese ploy to try to push the boundaries and if they don’t get pushback, that is the new normal (incursions into Taiwanese airspace is an example). If they get pushback they pretend it’s accidental. Another example of CCP rogue behaviour.

There is no doubt whatsoever that China would have let a US balloon drift over their mainland, undeterred for days, until it peacefully glides back into international waters. After all, it was all about science! Weather and climate, or something.

Of Cousteau letsmove on. The balloon already traversed the entire U.S.A. It’s job was done

I think we're giving ourselves too much credit that folks want to spy on us w/ a ballon

We have little idea what technology is attached. The military was caught flat footed, without a more sophisticated procedure to safely bring down and recover foreign craft.

Dear media execs, please don't give Biden the privilege of allowing the Chinese spy balloon story to diminish coverage of the Hunter Biden and classified document stories. They have played that game before.

Why not bring down the balloon with minimal damage and take a look? The Pentagon already said the balloon was doing no more harm than Chinese satellites already in orbit. Answer: Looks like the Pentagon didn’t know how. They blew it up when time ran out.

So it was a spy satellite

How do you say 'F^%K YOU' in mandarin?

It should be criticized, and by you too. We have the very low technology to cause these balloons to lose buoyancy and then capture them on the way down with a plane or helicopter. It should not have been shot down at all. It should have been captured.

Of course Biden let it collect it’s intel first

During the increase tension between the US and China over Taiwan. I don’t see why China thinks the Balloon should be left untouched. It might not have been gathering Intel but are the US to take Beijings word for it ?

You just avoid pacific ocean 🌊 Russia is shoot he het Chaina it secret just i know don't tell anyone

Today Chinese Lantern Festival, China released thousands of man-made airships into the air despite warnings from the US. Experts pointed out that the move could aggravate tensions between China and the US again, and the secretary of State's visit to China is facing another delay.

Airspace closed as Biden reportedly considering downing Chinese balloonThe order comes hours after Biden told reporters on Saturday that his administration is ''gonna take care of' the suspected spy balloon. The problem with Biden's influence-peddling operation is that countries like China and Ukraine now have him by the balls. We'll never know if his decisions are because of that or something else. Should draw a dick on it then send it back. Total burn. The giant “CHYNA” balloon entered the United States airspace days ago over the Aleutian Islands. The Department of Defense should answer for this intentional incompetence.
