Suspected Chinese spy balloon shot down by US off Carolina coast
that it is pausing several departures and arrivals on the east coast to"support the Department of Defense in a national security effort."Among the many lingering questions is why the balloon, which theused mostly for weather research that was blown off course, was in U.S. airspace – and why now.
The balloon arrived not only shortly before Blinken’s planned trip but also as the U.S. was inking a deal with the Philippines to double U.S. military presence there. That’s part of an effort to counter China’s threats to Taiwan and growing Chinese influence in the Indo-Pacific region. Incursions by spy balloons into U.S. airspace have occurred before, Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters Friday. But he declined to list instances.
“What gives me pause though is anything they put on the balloon has the potential to be captured and exploited if the balloon is shot down,” Murray said.
