[quote=Anonymous]I'm an avid China watcher, and I find this interesting, but not a crisis. The Chinese are doing much more provocative things-- buying farmland near sensitive sites, as a pp pointed out, for one-- than flying an old school surveillance balloon.

I do think it is possible China is attempting to bait us into conflict, because they have a lot of interest in conflict RIGHT NOW while the iron is hot. Any conflict with China would likely be in the South China Sea and involve control of Taiwan.  But, the deck is stacked in their favor right now bc we have been irresponsible in maintaining our Naval fleet, we are engrossed in domestic and international conflict, NATO is busy, etc. And for China, if they wait, we will have refit our Navy, they will in the midst of a prolonged chip shortage (which ends if they take Taiwan), and a population crisis since there will not be the right male/female ratio.

So I think they are trying to bait us. We should either ignore the balloon or jam its signal and feed it with disgusting images.  They didnt retaliate when we bombed their embassy so we can call it even.  [/quote]
