If this disaster spreads from the Ohio River downstream to the Mississippi and contaminates the US breadbasket, China should blanket ban all agricultural imports from that region.

Make them undergo inspection by Chinese authorities before selling in China. Good way to repay the US for their Xinjiang ban. Turnabout is fair play.

It’s not so much about repaying anything more than keeping consumers safe. That should be the priority. This has the potential of becoming the Melamine milk scandal of US agricultural products and it is no fault of the farmers!

外交部提醒美方：小心用力过猛闪了腰​

汪文斌称，我们已经多次表明，美方动用武力袭击中国因不可抗力误入美领空的民用无人飞艇，是明显的过度反应。我们也看到有很多的媒体戏称，美方是在用高射炮打蚊子，是荒诞又昂贵的“大型政治行为艺术秀”。我们也提醒美方小心用力过猛闪了腰。

U.S. tracked China spy balloon from launch on Hainan Island along unusual path​

The large Chinese surveillance device that flew across Alaska and the continental United States may have been diverted on an errant path caused by atypical weather conditions​

By the time a Chinese spy balloon crossed into American airspace late last month, U.S. military and intelligence agencies had been tracking it for nearly a week, watching as it lifted off from its home base on Hainan Island near China’s south coast.

U.S. monitors watched as the balloon settled into a flight path that would appear to have taken it over the U.S. territory of Guam. But somewhere along that easterly route, the craft took an unexpected northern turn, according to several U.S. officials, who said that analysts are now examining the possibility that China didn’t intend to penetrate the American heartland with their airborne surveillance device.

The balloon floated over Alaska’s Aleutian Islands thousands of miles away from Guam, then drifted over Canada, where it encountered strong winds that appear to have pushed the balloon south into the continental United States, the officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive intelligence. A U.S. fighter jet shot the balloon down off the coast of South Carolina on Feb. 4, a week after it crossed over Alaska.

This new account suggests that the ensuing international crisis that has ratcheted up tensions between Washington and Beijing may have been at least partly the result of a mistake.

Around Jan. 24, when the balloon was roughly about 1,000 miles south of Japan, model simulations show it began to gain speed and rapidly veer north. This was probably in response to a strong cold front that had

Ordinarily, atmospheric steering motions would have kept the balloon on much more of a west to east course, historical weather data shows. However, the intense cold front forced the jet stream and high altitude steering currents to dip south and may have scooped the balloon northward.
