On Feb 2, 2023, NORAD announced that it was tracking a Chinese balloon which had entered North American airspace. The hysterical pro-war US media which has been promoting the New Cold War has been calling it a "surveillance balloon."

China denies these accusations and has said "It is a civilian airship used for research, mainly meteorological, purposes. Affected by the Westerlies and with limited self-steering capability, the airship deviated far from its planned course."[1]

China Daily reported: "To spy on the US with a balloon, one must both fall far behind to use a 1940s technology and be advanced enough to control its flight across the ocean. Those fabricating the lie are only exposing their ignorance."[2]
