The United States has not shot down a Chinese surveillance balloon seen hovering over Montana, sending a message it will not defend itself against China, one expert says.
Former Chief Information Officer to President Bush Theresa Payton weighs in on China's possible intentions with balloon.floating over Montana, and one expert told Fox News Digital China may interpret the inaction as the U.S. being"incapable" of defending its sovereignty.
A senior administration official, who was not authorized to publicly discuss sensitive information, said President Biden was briefed and asked the military to present options on how to handle the surveillance balloon.Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Milley advised against taking"kinetic action" because of risks to the safety of people on the ground. Biden accepted that recommendation.
"The Chinese believe, because of our failure to shoot down the balloon, that we are incapable of defending ourselves for whatever reason, whether we want to protect the cows on the ground or we don't want to offend the Chinese," Chang said."Milley's advice is just wrong," Chang added."And Milley's advice is just dangerous. Milley's advice is leading the Chinese to think that they should do whatever they want and that the United States will not respond.
