That's basically what they did. The Chinese claimed it was caught up in a stream of air and the self-maneuvering capability of the balloon wasn't enough to overcome it. No one actually believed it, but that's what they said.

@fhi5y None, yet. But that's what Ukraine immediately started asking for after tanks were promised. Some countries, like Poland, are seriously considering giving planes now.

Who needs electronic products when people are so willing to install their spyware directly onto their personal devices.

@jackhazardous4008 The Chinese used regular old fishing boats to search for US submarines and submersible drones in their territory quite effectively.

Here's something to consider - why show your defensive capabilities just to deal with a balloon?
2
Because it's the start of a narrative switch. The Ukrainian story is getting bad and they need an excuse to pivot to China and Taiwan.

@1STGeneral It's also a question as to how much energy they had to use to recycle it. Did they wind up firing up the coal plants to prove their green technology works?

@水氵 Chinese satellites, like most Chinese products, are crap.

@水氵 [what do you know? you ldiots called that balloon a fu**ing spy 😂😂😂😂] No, the CIA did. And they're liars. So it could be true, or it could not be true.

@水氵 [how does it feel like to be looked at by the craps up there made by china ?] How does it feel to only get 50 cents for every post and all in a worthless currency, wu mao?

@水氵 [the crap missiles have more accuracy than yours, also their own spacestation. jealousy is written on your face isn't it.] Is this the same space station that keeps on breaking down? Yup, super jealous. If Chinese accomplishments are so great why do they have to fake footage of it? Do you still have unused Top Gun clips you want to show us?
1
@水氵 [breaking down? Got your news from your american dads?] Weren't you bragging about the accuracy of your missiles? I guess you think it's hard to hit the ocean.
1
@水氵 [top gun clips, right, americans could only do those things in movies. or in other words, you fools can only imagine.] No, Americans actually have real footage. That's why it stands in such stark contrast to China's propaganda. Not only do you seem incapable of doing something similar, you rip off Hollywood movies and try to convince people it's a great CCP accomplishment. Hate to break it to you, but your Wolf Warrior movies just make us laugh.

@ΣΤΕΡΓΙΟΣΚΟΣΜΙΔΗΣ [Almost all electronic products are made in China, if what you say is true it's because American companies invested in the chinese industry and allowed it to be so.] Not only Americans, but the developing world. China is in a real pickle, because money is moving out of China. There's nothing special about China that other countries can't provide. Mexico, for example is cheaper labor and has every bit the same level of sophistication technologically. Considering it's proximity to the US, it might make for a better choice overall.
1
@ΣΤΕΡΓΙΟΣΚΟΣΜΙΔΗΣ [You are right. But still, why do they prefer China rather than Mexico, as you mentioned?] Capitalism is underpinned by the exploitation of some combination of labor and the environment. China is the most willing to let investors exploit both. Mexico has it's problems but it's a lot more reluctant to let it's population be exploited in the same way.

They sure are here in the comments section. Or at least the wu mao and tankies are.

@primmakinsofis614 [Balloons don't have maneuvering ability -- that's why they are balloons. Do you see any engines in the photos? It's a balloon, not a blimp.] Both China and the US have said that the "balloon" has maneuvering capabilities. Interpret that any way you want.

@fhi5y Putin will likely stop in Ukraine because his first priority is to secure Russia's borders. He never wanted this war, he was bullied into it. But now he has a great excuse to take out an economic competitor. This proxy war is a dismal failure, and the collective west should seriously consider how their economic sanctions actually strengthened Russia before they go pick a fight with China.

@nightrider1984 I'm glad you're all for nuclear Armageddon. You'd fit right in with all the neocons.

Huh? Permission from who?

@Tsuigius Chinese technological capabilities are exaggerated. It's quite possible the balloon was used to do things it's satellites can't.
1
@Tsuigius I've been to China. I know.
1
@Tsuigius Multiple times for various reasons. China is wonderful, but the CCP are not.
1
@jimn1023 [capabilities are exaggerated? Well landing on the far side of the moon, 40,000 km of high speed rail, hypersonic missiles to name a few impress the heck out of me.] A lot of those claims are exaggerated. Where are you getting your information from exactly? Their high speed rail, for example, has killed thousands of people due to lax safety standards, cut corners, and poor materials and workmanship. It just doesn't show up in the news.

@Sekiberius24 [ "Chinese technological capabilities are exaggerated." You say that as if most of the things in the world are not produced in China,] Because the world has allowed it, but there's nothing special about China that enabled that. Also, a lot of that production is cheap refurbishment or outright stolen technology. [I also think you are severely underestimating Chinese education and research. Education in China is brutal, with test after test after test with equally brutal grading, your average Chinese student heavily exceeds the typical American student and it is no wonder why.] If you truly understood the educational system you would know that their high scores are mostly just a reflection of their studying for the test. Truth is there is very little creativity or innovation among Chinese students. They're very good at copying and reverse engineering, but that kind of education doesn't lead to being a world leader. [Underestimating the Chinese is a folly, there's a reason pretty much every country on earth is wary of China, well that and the fact that every economy on earth is cripplingly dependent on Chinese manufacturing.] They're wary of the sheer size of their population, which should give anyone pause. Also, they're a nuclear power. Their potential is tremendous. But having said that, they'll never reach it. [Countries have given China way too much leverage over their own that if China really does want to become the largest global power, the rest can't really even stop them, not without crumbling their own economies in the process.] There's actually a lot they can do, but they won't need to do it. The CCP is so horribly corrupt they've self-sabotaged any possibility of ever achieving their potential. China is already on the decline and will be in serious crisis in 10 years. This actually makes them more dangerous, but not because they can hurt world economies. Other nations will just move their manufacturing to other countries - it's already happening. [I got off topic, anyways, China has observation satellites and it is known fact, and there's no reason to believe their satellites can't do the same things ours can.] Yep, they do. And they DO things ours don't, like attack other satellites with weapons. But they also break down more. [They don't even need satellites to know everything about anything, everything that's anything can be discovered through the internet and it's users data, which every single government on earth takes advantage of anyways.] Some things just aren't on the internet, but I generally agree. [It's really just a competition of who can create an AI advanced enough to compile the exact information you need the fastest.] Well if history is any indication, they'll need to steal that technology because they seem incapable of developing it on their own. What we've seen so far is just the utilization of their massive manpower, which is considerable.

Very clearly, they're not ready to go all in on anti-China propaganda.

@zachcarter3186 Because it's one more tool the Canadian Government uses to control what you see and hear. There are now YouTube videos you can't watch if you're Canadian. Time to get a VPN.
1
@zachcarter3186 Canada hasn't had influence in social media, on YouTube or any other major platform, and certainly not since the 90s. That's why they're pissed. Canadian politicians are regularly ignored by big tech. It's only because of the integration of Canada into the 5 eyes that anyone listens to them.

@jameswentz9460 Yeah, but you don't have to go telling everyone what you know, which they didn't. Some people have interpreted that as incompetence instead of just not showing your hand.
