Frankly I'm at 49%-51% consensus toward China's point of view. We should simply shoot down whatever we wish in or own airspace and do it quietly to avoid uneccesary friction in the current buildup to WW III.

I have serious doubts that the U.S had balloons in China. I would think the U.S has more sophisticated methods for surveillance than balloons. I do agree with just shooting them down. I think the bigger question is, where did these balloons come from ? Were they launched by submarines ?
