The Chinese spy balloon that traveled around U.S. airspace earlier in the year gathered intel and sent it to Beijing. The latest development confirms the fear that sensitive U.S. Military sites may have been compromised.
Biden, February 16: “We were able to protect sensitive sites against collection."

According to a report by the Daily Wire, three American officials revealed that the Chinese government controlled the spy balloon. China remotely controlled the balloon moving it over military sites and installations, sometimes in a figure-eight pattern. The report also added that the gathered data was transmitted back to Beijing in “real-time.”
Although the officials say the data obtained by China was electronic signals accessible from weapons systems or base communications, there seems to be more to worry about.
Today, we learned the Chinese spy balloon did, in fact, collect sensitive intelligence from U.S. military sites.
The Biden administration lied about it for weeks.

The State Department admitted that the Chinese spy balloon that traversed the United States for more than a week had more capabilities than publicized. The spy balloon that flew over vital national security sites was equipped with antennas capable of sending and receiving communications.
What idiot allows a Chinese spy balloon to casually float across the US for days spying on military installations? 👇👇👇 pic.twitter.com/3ZjIcAtfqK
