To me that whole story looks suspicious, why would china send spying balloons over there? in a strategic region full of lithium mines, you wouldn't want to scare your potential future partners So it's probably fake balloons in an attempt to create defiance against China, who would do that? The US is interested in that region: https://www.csis.org/analysis/south-americas-lithium-triangle-opportunities-biden-administration https://www.csis.org/analysis/south-americas-lithium-triangl... So maybe there is some shady things going on https://www.reuters.com/world/china-balloon-soaring-over-us-deflates-hopes-diplomatic-thaw-2023-02-04/ https://www.reuters.com/world/china-balloon-soaring-over-us-... Yeah that's very suspicious

  US: "we want to look like the good guys, let's pretend we want to create peaceful link, let's send Blinken" also the US: "hey, let's create this story, and cancel the visit as a result, we'll get the international public opinion at our side" We can go very far with ChatGPT Or perhaps we should stay rational and keep reading the news, maybe you are right, it was just a random weather balloon Who knows? at first sight it was a "chinese spying balloon", that was fast
