China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs had little to say about the latest objects found flying in U.S. airspace, but said high-altitude U.S. balloons had entered Chinese airspace on more than 10 occasions in the past year.

Really… you're just bringing this up now?
What a joke
Brooo…. who are you fooling?😂😂😂😂
Man I can't wait for this war to start and sending f to afterlife
We've entered a Ballon warfare yeyyyy…..
One of the Chinese Communist Party's favorite tactics to switch thier public's attention is to provoke nationalism in China itself. As if they had mislead their people shout at things as loud as they can, the reality or facts would change anyhow. It is also common as we look at Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia as their elites were being criticized. They operated in a very similar ways.
Wouldn't believe a word this Communist Dictator led country has to say.
Few if any weather balloons have solar panels and its unlikely a weather balloon with solar panels as large as balloon 1 had is a weather balloon.
Based on panel size and considering charging power reserves, the panels were powering several hundred watts of equipment which would be highly unusual unless it was capturing massive amounts of data in the form of photos and more importantly low energy radio signals.
Radio signals from microcontrollers, closed networks, and point-to-point networks can not be easily captured by satellites but would be key to understanding and attacking infrastructure.
It is also likely that the balloon was interrogating and attacking the encryption of low power data stations and APs.
These closed, low power, and poiint-to-point radios are the second oe third greatest threat to US infrastructure, and many are protected by weak encryption and obsurity.
It is also likely that control of said balloon and data collection were shared duties of remote and local (Chicoms on the ground) operators and data collectors.
Even if this balloon was fake, the infrastructure weakness exists, and balloons are unique attack vectors that should mot be dismissed.
Profiling, war driving, and pentesting data systems and radio communications via high altitude balloons is a very interesting idea and, again, would produce data and results, not otherwise available on such a large scale.
Loitering balloons would provide time and opportunity to penetrate networks, plant spyware, upload new firmware, and even create very accurate GPS data – all against infrastructure the ChiComs cannot get access to via satellite.
postureing for Jerry Lewis.
Balloons are nothing new
But it is a great way to distract from corvette Biden documents in a garage mess
The balloon "strayed" over Guam (US) Hawaii (US) Aleutian Islands (US) Alaska (US) then dropped down from Canada right over our Western Missile Defense bases and across the center of the (US) lower 48. That's a lot of "straying" over multiple US territories and states. But sure, it could happen so no hard feelings. Oh BTW you're welcome to shoot down any US balloons that may "stray" over China. Let's see them if they exist. Extraordinary claims doesn't require extraordinary evidence in this case, it's just a balloon so what ya got?
Will they show us the video evidence
im confused what is the balloon a distraction from?
UNO reverse card 🤣 humans are idiots.
This is exactly why sometimes things do not need to be released to the public. Look how they now have turned this situation back around us in the eyes of their people.

Unfortunately the young men in this country have absolutely no patriotic passion in their bones like we used too. Every American should love their country regardless of who’s in office and want to protect it at all cost 🇺🇸
They why China never reveal the usa ballon image to media..chinese only good in spreading propaganda news.
Classic deflection from the foreign ministry department of the CCP!
If that is true China, you should know what to do for any future foreign incursion into your airspace, just shoot it down.
The Chinese government is dangerous.
I'm not believing that for a second.
Bruh….do NOT trust China!!!!!!
The u.s just look like……………
China's also gonna claim Americans love to eat rats, cats, bats, dogs and live baby mice. 🤣
Communist China outright lie like a MAGA Republican…

I'm playing dragon ball z
Dam fa real
Xi Jin Ping pong 🇨🇳 👎
BIDEN ALL THE WAY2024🇺🇸👍
we dont use balloons cuz we are not poor we got drones for that
Looks like we've got a Little Trouble in Big China.
"If we have no obvious proof, then we shouldn't be making irresponsible remarks…."
That wasn't a denial or presentation of evidence, Minister Wang.
I don’t believe Chinese government United States government never does that ✌️
But of course they have. However, it's awfully ironic of you to just now have "remembered" this!? These ppl have to be kidding, right?
Does anyone believe anything the CCP?
Mao Tse Tung was correct: The United Snakes cannot be trusted. China must return to its fundamentals and begin making life miserable for the oligarchs and plantation bosses who run the Americancer Society.
Ask him if he likes having them fly over his country ? We collected money when I was a kid ( I'm 69 ) to help feed the starving Chinese in 1959 . Your Welcome !
