A suspected Chinese spy balloon was spotted in US airspace. The United States immediately captured this Chinese balloon, but the Pentagon decided not to shoot it down because it could have harmed people on the ground. The ‘spy’ balloon floating in the air has created further tension in US-China relations.
No one is unaware of China’s intention. China wants to rule the whole world, according to the policy of imperialism, little by little it enters the land of other countries. China has been doing this for a long time along the borders of India. Therefore, the border relations between China and India are going through a very bad phase. Now China’s eyes are on the United States. The battle for supremacy between the United States and China continues. China has now lagged behind the United States as it pursues the intent to lead the world. China took help from the air to spy on the United States and entered its airspace.
A suspected Chinese spy balloon was spotted in US airspace. The United States immediately captured this Chinese balloon, but the Pentagon decided not to shoot it down because it could have harmed people on the ground. The ‘spy’ balloon floating in the air has created further tension in US-China relations. A senior defense official told reporters the Pentagon was confident the Chinese balloon was flying over “sensitive sites” to gather information. The balloon was seen over Montana, home to one of the country’s three nuclear missile launch facilities at Malmstrom Air Force Base.
The government is eyeing a balloon that “currently travels at an altitude well above commercial air traffic and does not present a military or physical hazard to people on the ground.” The Pentagon told a news conference that similar balloons have been seen in the past and that the United States has taken steps to ensure that it does not collect sensitive information.
The ‘spy’ balloon incident occurred just days after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited China. to try to find something in common He was to pay his first visit to Beijing later this week. Although the visit has not been formally announced, both Beijing and Washington speak of his imminent arrival. It was not immediately clear if the discovery of the balloons would affect Blinken’s travel plans.
Balloon over Montana
The United States got fighter jets, including an F-22, ready to shoot down the balloon, but the Pentagon advised against doing so because its size would create a debris field so large it could put people in Montana at risk.
It was not clear what the military was doing to prevent him from collecting sensitive information or what would happen to the balloon if it was not shot down. The official did not specify the size of the balloon, but said it was large enough that commercial pilots could see it despite its height.
Some Montana residents took pictures of the “big white circle in the sky.” But the Pentagon would not confirm whether the large white balloon hanging over the field was a surveillance balloon. “I thought maybe it was a legitimate UFO,” a Montana resident told the AP. From spy balloons to the Chinese Communist Party spying on Americans via TikTok to CCP-linked companies buying up American farmland, I see developments dangerous to our national security,” Montana Governor Greg Gianforte said in a statement. Very annoying because of the constant current.
Everyone wants to take a look at the Chinese spy balloon, it will be THE raging trend of the internet for the next few days, assuming the air force doesn’t shoot it down. If you’re not on your lawn getting loud shots of every point in the sky, you’re missing out. pic.twitter.com/SA630Tfgy6
