China demands U.S. return downed spy craft

More information is coming to light regard the Chinese spy balloon that captivated headlines around the world.

The Pentagon says China’s defence minister actually turned down a request to speak with our defence secretary Lloyd Austin III immediately after the U.S. shot down the Beijing spy craft on Saturday.

In the following days, the U.S. Navy has been working day and night to recover the debris from the crash site—even using sonar technology to map the ocean floor.

They also brought in an unmanned underwater vehicle to help locate small pieces of the airship.

The debris area is 15-football field big as the Chinese spy craft was 200 feet tall and weighed about 2,000 pounds.

Everything the Navy is collecting is being transported to an F.B.I. lab to be analysed.

China says the debris belongs to them.

In a State of the Union address, President Biden briefly referenced the incident calling it a “win.”

But critics have been quick to point out that President Biden and his administration allowed the Chinese spy balloon to enter United States air space and to continue across the country for one solid week—flying over ICBM facilities and other military installations coast to coast.

Lawmakers say the President missed an opportunity to discuss the growing China threat.

Over the past two days, the Navy had beautiful weather for the salvage operations however heading into the weekend—those conditions are expected to deteriorate which could complicate the recovery process.
