USA v China. Balloon Wars
« on: February 13, 2023, 04:35:51 pm »
With things really kicking off with these 2 over the last few days and USA shooting down 4 objects in 4 days. China also saying they shot down one object. Looks like its really escalating and neither is gonna back down. How far will it go from here though?

I'm a little confused by the significance of this....don't they both have satellites that can obtain the visual information in any case?

It's been widely recognised and accepted that China has been using espionage on an enormous scale over the prevailing decade particularly industrial espionage, so it's not 'new news'

Good balloon lyrics and puns aside...

To my knowledge, only one of the four objects that have been shot down has been confirmed as a Chinese spy device.
