WARNING! China is about to attack Taiwan! Look what the PLA has assembled in Fujian!
Well it's painfully obvious isn't it? This isn't a military matter even if the US wants to make it one. It's a weather balloon belonging to a civilian institute. So why would the Chinese MoD respond?
Put the reply on the next ballon.
Maybe they're scared because they're still using that stuff in active service?Because the SEEseePee wants to spy on australian WW1, WW2 and 'Nam era weapons...
Five of the memorial's 11 Hikvision cameras are set to be removed by the end of the month, while the remainder will be stripped from the institution next year.
Even tougher than Pompeo's PT coach, unlike him, he succeeded at trimming the fatHe never compromises, he always lies expertly, he is very capable and incredibly tough. This is Xi Jinping according to Mike Pompeo. I don't know Mr. Pompeo but that sounds based to me
I'd rather they send the cameras to keep taps on the zookeepers there instead so their pandas don't die. Too late for that now.Good. Maybe they can send them to Memphis to deter further police brutality.
Biden keeps hyping airship incident ahead of State of Union address; 'China-US ties increasingly dangerous in 2023'
Jin Canrong, associate dean of the School of International Studies at the Renmin University of China, told the Global Times on Tuesday that the incident reflects "that whether we like it or not, the new Cold War launched by the US against China has already begun."
While the US is trying to engage with China, it has never stopped its sanctions and containment measures in the fields of science, technology, geopolitics and strategy, and the latest airship incident reveals that hostility against China within the US is ridiculously high, and is hard to control and manage. This is despite China's efforts to be fully sincere and transparent to minimize the negative impact caused by the incident, Jin said.
"More importantly, the US will keep being provocative on the Taiwan question. Not only does House Speaker Kevin McCarthy plan to make another provocative visit to the island, US politicians are also planning to invite Tsai Ing-wen, leader of the secessionist authorities on the island, to the US. In general, the prospects for China-US relations in 2023 are getting increasingly pessimistic and dangerous," Jin said.
Funny, they called her a commie quite recently
I'm surprised no one has questioned this and it is being taken as the truth.

Because it has nothing to do with the Chinese military. It's a civilian balloon.I'm surprised no one has questioned this and it is being taken as the truth.
Why would China refuse a phone call from the Americans? Is avoiding dialogue been the Chinese policy so far? It's not like the authorities were keeping quiet about the incident, they've already come out and said it was a commercial weather balloon. China has been sidelining more hawkish senior politicians for some time, they clearly want dialogue with the west as partners, not enemies.
It's also strange that we're being told this straight away. Last year for several months the Russians were refusing high level phone calls from the Americans. Yet we didn't find out until the Russians reestablished communications - around the time the Russians claimed they had credible threats of the Ukrainians having WMD.
This phone call revelation is the same as most of what this story is all about, a psyops campaign to condition Americans into hostility against China.
