China Wants It’s Spy Balloon Back

China has demanded that the United States return its spy balloon, Fox News is reporting.

According to Fox News, “The Pentagon said it “acted immediately to protect against the collection of sensitive information” from the spy platform. But geopolitical experts said there is little reason to believe those efforts were successful as the balloon almost certainly transferred surveillance data over to China as it flew over several military bases.”

Asked if China has requested that the debris from the destroyed aircraft be returned, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said, “The airship does not belong to the U.S. It belongs to China.”
