I heard U.S. officials say that it's definitely a spy-balloon. They refused to say how they know this, but I assume they have their sources.
But a balloon has to intrude in someone's airspace. Doing so could trip off an international incident, like it has now.

- qwezxcrty 4y agoYes, it is definitely a silly move if it's really a spy balloon. But I think it's still too early to draw the conclusion, given the strong Bayesian prior that how unlikely it is for China, with advanced spy satellites and a spy network in the US as accused by three-letter-agencies, to fly a huge, visible by naked-eye, balloon for spying and for starting an international incident.
- qwezxcrty 4y agoAccording to the WSJ article I read today, it is indeed a spy balloon. Well, then this time CPC certainly did a bad job unless they already got some valuable data.
