Chinese Spy Balloon Obtained Information On Military Installations, Data Was Immediately Transferred To Beijing

The U.S. government has concluded its investigation into the Chinese spy balloon shot down off the coast of South Carolina on February 4. NBC reported on Monday that Beijing had obtained intelligence despite Beijing’s long-held assertion that the unmanned balloon was a benign civilian airship that accidentally veered off course and flew over sensitive American military installations. During this time, the “benign” airship was observed flying over sensitive American military installations, doing a figure eight over certain areas.
