Today, with the highly developed satellite reconnaissance technology, today, it also uses balloons to do military detection. It feels very "old soil".
Energy security and space experts in the United States said that this balloon has the characteristics of developed national weather, communications and scientific balloon.James Lewis, director of the Strategic Science and Technology Project of the Washington Post, said that if the balloon is really a spy balloon, it may be a camera or may convey information to other countries in other countries if that balloon is really a spy balloon.
Lewis said: "If you really want to know what it is, just hit it, you can remove the sensing device, and you see if there is military intelligence or meteorological information inside."
#< According to US media reports, the leaders of the Pentagon initially suggested that President Biden did not shot down the balloon because the fragments caused may hurt the civilians on the ground.
However, the U.S. military hit the balloon on Saturday, where the location was in the American airspace outside the State of South Carolina.
Someone analyzed that Biden was ordered to "play balloons" under pressure from public opinion, and some Chinese netizens speculated that the United States was waiting for balloons to float into the open waters before it precisely shot down its power device, allowing it to slowly slowFloating to the sea, so that it can be salvaged.
The US Minister of Defense Austin announced the news on Saturday (February 4).Austin revealed in the statement that Biden approved the balloon on Wednesday (February 1), but when it came down, it was ensured that the life of Americans on the balloon route would not face the risks that should not be faced."The Ministry of National Defense has formulated a plan to safely shot the balloon in my country in China, and closely monitor its route and intelligence collection activities."
Austen means that the balloon uses the balloon as an attempt to monitor the local strategy of the United States strategy. Eventually, the United States was shot down over the sea.
He also pointed out that this cautious and legal action shows that President Biden and his national security team always put the security and guarantee of the American people first, and effectively respond to China's unacceptable to the United States' sovereignty.Invade.

Shi Yinhong, a professor of international relations at Renmin University of China, accepted the analysis of Lianhe Zaobao that the balloon incident showed that the deterioration of Sino -US deterioration has been fragile enough to bear a normal blow. Sino -US relations must achieve significant and long -term improvements.It seems that it almost rely on miracles.
Song Wendili, a political scholar at the National University of Australia, analyzed the Voice of Germany that from the perspective of the United States, they felt that they got some rights to China in the negotiations through the balloon problem.The U.S. State Department did not cancel visit to China, but just postponed the itinerary. This seems to be a useful compromise solution, retaining a window for China and the United States to restore dialogue.
In any case, the window of Blingken's visit to China is even narrower, and this balloon incident will increase the possibility of McCarthy's visit to Taiwan.After the announcement of the delay, Bollingin has not had a lot of time to visit China. The National "Two Sessions" (the annual meeting of the People's Congress and the CPPCC) will be held in March this year;When visiting Taiwan, if McCarthy really visited Taiwan in April, it would be even more difficult to visit China afterwards.
Moreover, the United States will hold a presidential election in 2024. Both parties have been actively preparing for elections. The attack on China will be more violent and will also make the Biden government face greater pressure.Blingken's visit to China was originally an iconic incident that improved Sino -US relations. Now it is temporarily changing, but it is clearly explaining how difficult it is to improve Sino -US relations.
