Shhh
Blinken: President Biden, I've got good news and bad news, which one would you want to hear first?
Biden: You known damn well I need some good news right now after the balloon fiasco.
Blinken: Well, you know the SOB chief meterologist responsible for the balloon thing? He lost his job.
Biden: That's wonderful news. Xi must be quaking in his boots over the mess he made hehehe. What could the bad news possibly be?
Blinken: You see, that ex chief meterologist got promoted to chairman of the Gansu politburo.
Biden:
Sounds more like those people who are say they are from “China” on r/China when they are just bible thumping MAGA hill billies.
Honestly, what do these guys even fvcking expect?
Though, there can only be one possible explanation: The decades-worth of brainwashing has resulted in many of these so-called Western-based "China experts" being disconnected from reality.
Many of them still honestly think that the Chinese people are "oppressed and tortured by the ebil SeeSeePee", and that the Chinese people are waiting for the Westerners to "liberate them from the ebil SeeSeePee" dictatorship", and that the Chinese people would "lay red carpets to greet their Anglo-Saxon-led Western liberators as triumphing heroes".
In this case, these "China-experts" truly believed that the Chinese people are angry because the ebil SeeSeePee has deliberately thrown away any chances of reconciliation with the US after what they clearly believed as "Beijing's actions at antagonizing the US".
But what they didn't realise is that the series of actions taken by Washington DC that are directly antagonizing Beijing over the past years:
1. Waging trade war which negatively affected the economy;
2. Trying to stunt China's growth and development by cutting off China's access to high-end technology;
3. Waging propaganda war which deliberately deface and smear China and the Chinese people;
4. Supporting rioters who decimated Hong Kong for years;
5. Supporting Taiwanese separatism and disrespect China's territorial integrity with the unlawful visit of the US' 3rd-in-command to Taiwan;
6. Backing Tibetan and Xinjiang seperatist and terrorist groups;
7. Sailing warships through the Taiwan Strait to provoke China;
8. Intruding the South China Sea and ruining deals between China and ASEAN countries from behind;
9. Expanding military presence targetting China in the WestPac to contain China;
10. Stationing long-range strike missiles targetting the Chinese heartland;
11. Waging unlawful sanctions against China and Chinese entities;
12. Deliberate attempt at derailing China's BRI project across the world;
etc etc...
Is coming back and bite them.
Yet somehow, these "China-experts" believed that the Chinese people should be angry at the balloon fiasco? Give me a break, LMFAO.
If anything, no matter how insignificant the balloon itself can be, the Chinese people sees this balloon fiasco as a "tit-for-tat" for Pelosi's unalwful visit to Taiwan last year. Since Pelosi violated Chinese territorial soverignty and integrity with her visit to Taiwan and her words which clearly supported Taiwanese seperatism, the balloon from China intruding US territorial airspace (being unintentional at that), is seen by many in China as:
But of course, the Americans clearly made themselves the clown of the world with such hysterical reaction, and these Western-based "China-experts" know none the better.
Here, the historic master of propaganda perfectly described the cause-and-effect of pretty much the entirety of the American and Western diasphora's present hysteria and emnity against China and the Chinese people:

Indeed. In case anyone still doesn't get it I've got a good analogy. Imagine that China and the U.S. are two rival jocks at a high school. One day, after football practice, China accidentally spilled some crappy 3$ massage oil in the bathroom before the U.S. went in to take a whizz. While doing relieving himself at the bathroom stall, the U.S. accidentally slipped on the massage oil and peed all over his shirt and pants. Now imagine how the rest of the school would react if the U.S., instead of cleaning himself up and changing his clothing, ran around the school in soiled clothing screaming "f**king China made me slip and piss myself" while holding the crappy Temu massage oil bottle in his hand. After running around with the bottle for a while he stomps on it before setting the whole thing on fire.
This is literally how it looks to a sane third party observer. No amount of media control can change this.
Do their radars have a three year lag or something? How does this even work?
Not all radar data is analysed in real time. Given how many things are in the sky at any moment it would be impractical.
Someone could have spotted a weather balloon, then they checked logs and saw it likely came from China.
