“The intelligence community, their assessment – and it's a high-confidence assessment – [is] that there was no intelligence collection by that balloon,” Milley said, confirming China’s assertion that the balloon was blown off course.

U.S. handwringing over the balloon brought China ties to a new low, and exposed the warmongering lust of the neocon 🤡 show steering Washington’s foreign policy.

The fact that the Chinese spy balloon couldn’t collect any data just shows the quality of manufacturing I guess. That or they need to work on their ability to steal technology to get it to work for them. Who knows. What it doesn’t make it is “a so called spy balloon”.

Or you know the obvious answer that it wasn't actually a spy balloon and you're easily convinced of nonsense because it fits with your racist views. It's easier for you to accept that China can't manufacture a spy device because of that. Also, this may shock you, but China has spy satellites and doesn't need to use balloons. The fact that you even think this story is plausible further highlights your view that Chinese are some primitive barbarians using balloons for spying.

The most hilarious part here is how you just keep doubling down on this acting all smug. Once again, there is zero evidence for your conspiracy theory, but you keep on digging there.
