This is Putin self-directed "wondering balloon 1&2"
This balloon incidence was a Puti self-directed "wondering balloon 1&2" with his newsly in power CCP putin loyalists, one of them is likely Qin Gang, a talentless, treasonous but putin loyalist.
It is well known that there were at least 2 quite coups happend after 20th Party congress since last year.
1. Putin is the one sew discord between Xi and Biden via Pelosi incidence. Putin and his controlled MAGA republicans coordinated Pelosi's Taiwan visit before Xi's reeletion at 20th Party congress. And then Putin turn around telling Xi that Biden is trying to use Pelosi's Taiwan visit to harm his chance of getting reelected at the 20th Party congress and stoking the fire between the two. Putin, a KGB spy who is expert in subversion and sewing discord, succeeded in cracking Xi-Biden-Obama relationship.
2. Because just before the 20th Party congress, Putin met with Xi the first time in person after COVID and found out Xi is against him although friendly on surface. So Putin decided to take Xi down at the 20th Party congress by promoting his opposing faction, Likeqiang, Lizhanshu and other CCP youth factions. Xi was first under the house arrest immediately after Xi stepped down from the airplane at the Chinese airport after meeting Putin. Likeqiang was the one organized hourse arrest. However, Xi, collaborated with his confident Obama, succeeded in relection at 20th Party congress. However Obama is excellent in public speaking but not good in politics. The pure optic of removal of ex-president Hu, Jintao irked a lot of chinese peoples, especially that optics being played and commented on all media outlets worldwide. With the failing of securing Xi's replacement-- Likeqiang fraction at the 20th party congress, Putin ordered MAGA repulicans, to organized the social unrest in China and finally propelled the first quiet coup in CCP top leadership with Likeqiang, Lizhanshu and Wangyi in power. The goal is to banish Xi's zero COVID hold on the world.
3. However, this new leadership not only banished zero COVID, but made China economically stronger and even more formidable to beat than Xi's China. Those reformists are patriotic. Especially Wangyi's MuJi-style reform which will propel China to become the #1 superpower and reform Chinese politics in a positive way. The Chinese new leadership is composed of reformists, and open-minded people. So far the better team for China. They spoiled Putin's Christmas by leaving putin alone in church by himself. And the new Chinese leadership even organized a quiet coup in Russia to take down Putin.
4) Enough is enough. Putin is jealous of China's success under the new reformist's leadership and ordered MAGA repulicans to conduct a genocide in multiple cities during Chinese lunar new year in US to spoil chinese new year. He likely promoted QinGang, a talentless, treasonous but putin loyalist into the CCP central committee during the 20th party congress. Putin met Chinese vice foreign minister 马朝旭 on 02/02/2023 and another quiet coup was likely happened within the CCP top leadship. This time both Xi and reformist factions were likely taken down with QinGang leading the news Putin loyalist faction.
5) The new Putin loyalist faction are traitors and is selling Chinese interest to Putin and harming Chinese people and need to be brought down immediately, if not by another Chinese social unrest.
6) Calling to resume WangYi and Likeqiang's leadership and start MuJi-styple reform if CCP still want a chance for another decade. Or else CCP is over and Chinese people will elect someone else to lead China.
不至于那么蠢，把气球放到北美上空吧？
气球真能飞那么远吗？
昨天听了一耳朵别人的转述，好像是从阿拉斯加那边飘过来的，飘过加拿大，再入美国境内，然后在海上被击落了。
其他的我都不关心，也不知道了。
打开车里的收音机，第一个就听到这个chinese spy ballon,搞得我莫名其妙的，不喜欢打下来就完了吗，大张旗鼓的，神经病
这事儿中国做得不对，就是习的风格。
气球如果如中国所说是民用气象气球，无意为之，不管怎么样你的东西跑到人家家里去了，也该道个歉吧，并可以坦诚的告诉美国里面有些什么东西，这些东西完全不可能用于间谍监视、纯属用于气象。他（习）非不。
气球如果是间谍气球，有意为之，那中国/习当然不道歉，美国当然非常脑火。
中国这么大个国家现在全是习一个人的意志、一个人的指令。他任性中国在全世界面前就任性，他生气就“中国很生气”，他小心眼中国就很小心眼。。。
现在外交部还腆着老脸严重抗议美国打下来呢。真够不要脸的。换位想象一下，如果美国把气球放到中国领空，那些战螂们还不知道会怎么撒泼发疯呢。

也没见它道歉。这都比放一个什么气象气球严重多了吧？
另外谁说外交部没有道歉？"the Chinese side regrets the unintended entry of the airship into US airspace due to force majeure." 这是外交部的statement.
遇到类似的事，还会类似处理的。
不过，不知道具体这个气球的用途是什么。现在更搞不清楚了。：）
美国的事，即使现在保密，过几十年也能解密，还能被后人所知。
你咋啥都知道
具体气球事件我没有太多look into, 但我不相信是spy balloon.
你搞错了，我们中国有那么蠢？
后来想到现在的领导层，也真难说呢？
病毒的事一定会有人追究的，早晚的事。
当时那个国家击落了一架美国新式战机，并把它给了中国。
中国认为暂时放在大使馆地下室最安全。
没想到战机上的定位器还在，美国知道了其准确的位置，就炸了使馆，不想让中国知道战机的先进技术。
那个国家当时正和美国打仗
美国出动了两架 F22, 叫 Frank 1和 Frank 2， 这名字有意义，纪念当年一个叫 Frank Luke的美国空军二战时打下了很多德军的间谍气球。
当时气球五万八千呎高，飞机飞到五万呎，这是F22第一次施展身手，也是美国空军第一次在这么高的高度射击目标， 所谓的first kill。
他们等到气球刚飘过美国大陆进入海洋，但又没有出12英里的领海界限，计算了气流的影响，结果是气球在海外6英里处落海。
击中气球的火箭价值60万刀! 真是烧钱啊。
说是打捞应该不难，海军正在捞呢。到时候看看是啥元宵
这一段我也看到了。
但非常靠近中国领空。
中机升空，非常近的逼近美机，没有保持安全距离。
美机比中机大，碰瓷的话中机会吃亏。
美机突然转向，中机煞不住，和美机碰瓷后坠毁了。
美机也受到损坏，飞不回去了，跟着中方的撩机，飞到了中国的军用机场降落的。
美国高层并不想看到这样的事情发生，是飞行员们赌气所为，他们回来后，都没再得到重用。
"we do acknowledge that we violated China's airspace... and we regret that. We have expressed sorrow for it. And we're sorry that that happened."
在飞回去的时候，等于是给美机导航。
不知道的雷达发现了没有
很遗憾，中机坠毁了。

!!!
搬个板凳儿，好好看吧
说你technically还没进我家门，但离我家门只有几寸的距离，而且还是spyplane, 争这个有意思吗？反正明摆着就是去哪儿不干好事儿了
the unintended entry of the airship into US air space due to force majeure"
跟当年中美撞机时美国的“道歉”一个意思。
当然surveillance 也有spy 的意思， 我就以为媒体改口了
今天在MSN 倒真有人说“That Downed Chinese Balloon Wasn’t Exactly For Spying. It Was a ‘Trial’ Balloon”
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/that-downed-chinese-balloon-wasn-t-exactly-for-spying-it-was-a-trial-balloon/ar-AA176AwP?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=7aa25e3189fa45e7b695593a8662cd5d
我觉得那应该就是一个流浪气球， 或是像上面文章说的这是中国试探美国的气球。 中国不会这样傻这个时代还用气球去spy 美国的。而且气球上还写着中文字. 因为气球在美国的领空， 美国当然有权把它打下来的。
