    More important than losing a balloon, this is major loss of face for the PLA and Xi.

    It’s definitely not aliens. Definitely. Just a weather balloon.

    I still think it’s a ufo and this is an agreed response by both China and USA on how to handle the matter for now to not alarm the public.
    As a matter of fact, we should nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure .

    China always putting out statements as if anything they say holds any merit…they can not be trusted

    The chinnese have tiktok installed in every teenagers phone. They don't need a balloon hovering in the sky. This isn't Russia. The CCP is more clever than thus crap

    Right, it's a civilian airship LOL.

    At the same time... a "spy balloon" that is visible to the naked eye from the ground? LMAO.

    LMFAO

    I can't for the life of me think how somebody thought this was a good idea in 2023, that's embarrassing for China. Even if if we somehow managed to not notice this, do they think we leave important s**t out in the open to be spotted Google Earth style?

    It’s a new TikTok feature for people in areas of low cellular coverage.

    And for the record, if this is just a weather balloon, - huge loss of face for @basso and Kevin McCarthy, as well as for me, for prematurely debiting excessive face.
