What was called a Chinese spy balloon drifted over the United
States for several days before being shot down over the weekend
But how did it end up flying over American soil
Was China trying to send a message
Was it an attempt to sabotage the talks with Washington
before Secretary of State Antony Blinken's trip to China
And if that's the case what does the internal struggles of the Chinese Communist Party have to do with all this
Welcome to China in Focus My name is Julián Bertone
The Chinese spy balloon was
shot down over the weekend
Now underwater searches are being conducted to recover the remains
And an classified information session was scheduled in the Senate for February 15
The majority leader of the Senate Chuck Schumer stated that the
briefing will include information on surveillance capabilities
Chinese research and development and advanced weapon systems
Schumer rejected the criticism that the spy balloon should have been shot down earlier
Knocking down the surveillance balloon over the water was not only the
safest option but also the one that maximized our intelligence capabilities
It is also expected that the group of eight will receive information on Tuesday
The group is composed of key members of the Intelligence Committee
and the main leaders of the House of Representatives and the Senate
On Saturday a U S case shot down the balloon with a missile off the coast of South Carolina
It simply exploded and above it was like confetti
Senior defense officials say the missile pierced the balloon
When it was about six nautical miles off the coast near Myrtle Beach
Within 12 nautical miles of U S territory
The remains landed at a depth of 47 feet and spread out over several miles
The recovery operations included several ships and a salvage vessel
According to authorities the remnants of the balloon will be taken to an FBI laboratory for analysis
China accused the United States of exaggerating
He stated that the balloon was intended for meteorological research and had deviated from its course
Since it is a balloon it can act with a certain degree of impunity in that it has this plausible denial
saying it is a weather balloon and I think the statement they
are trying to make is that they disagree with US foreign policy
and the closeness between the United States and Taiwan
The Chinese Ministry of Defense stated that they reserve the right to use necessary means
To deal with similar situations
It was certainly about making a statement and testing the ground seeing how the United States would respond to this
The Secretary of State Antony Blinken postponed his planned trip to Beijing
citing that the conditions were not favorable for a constructive visit at this time
The presence of this surveillance balloon in US airspace
is a clear violation of US sovereignty and international law
The Pentagon says a second Chinese spy balloon was detected flying over Latin America
On Friday night the Pentagon spokesperson confirmed the
presence of a second Chinese balloon hovering over Latin America
The Colombian Air Force said on Saturday that its defense
service detected a second object above 55 000 feet
And his strength followed him until he left his airspace
In recent days social media users reported sightings
A similar balloon in Venezuela as well as in Costa Rica
The director general of Civil Aviation in Costa Rica acknowledged in an interview
On Thursday when a balloon was hovering over its territory but it noted that they did not detect its origin
The Chinese regime finally admitted on Monday that the second balloon
belongs to them and assured that it is used for civilian flight tests
And the weather conditions eventually affected him
Adding that those countries understand it is not a threat
Some U S lawmakers suggested that
the army should also shoot it down
Now that the alleged Chinese spy balloon was shot down by
American fighter jets the question remains what was it for
Was China trying to sabotage the talks with the United States
before Secretary of State Antony Blinken's trip to China
Was it an attempt to calibrate Washington's military response or something more
An expert provides more information on the topic
On Monday pieces of the Chinese balloon were recovered off
the coast of North Carolina while U S Navy ships were deployed
They continue clearing the field of debris in an effort to solve the growing mystery
A key question is why China would want to use
A relatively unsophisticated balloon to monitor the continental territory of the
United States I think it's very hard not
to reach the conclusion that in some way
Sending a balloon is a very brazen act
We are talking about a balloon drifting across the United States
With carefully scheduled stops on
missile bases and American military
bases It's almost a kind of gesture of contempt towards its opponent
However China already operates more effective military satellites
for surveillance On the other hand the China Affairs analys
Tan Shen Yun states that the Chinese Communist Party or
CCP probably used the balloon as a low-orbit satellite
To obtain more detailed intelligence information than satellites can at a lower
cost The second advantage is that since
this balloon has military-civil integration
It is very convenient for China to assert that it is a civilian
product and uncontrollable and therefore exempt from any liability
But no matter what the capabilities of this particular balloon
were Washington took the threat seriously After what happened
Secretary of State Antony Blinken canceled his planned trip to
China Tensions between the United States and the PRC were expected
They will be relieved by this visit and the cancellation is a major blow to Beijing
It also raises another question about the intentions of the Chinese regime
Why launch a balloon right now
It is possible that a few within the PSC may oppose easing the relationship
between China and the United States We can call them anti-American extremists
Inside the PSC system Or perhaps some of them are anti
-Xi Jinping Maybe they released the balloon on purpose
The United States claims that similar incidents with balloons have already occurred
But what is worth questioning is why China decided to send one
Immediately before Blinken's trip Tang claims the
incident could be a sign of a power struggle within the PSC
It was deliberately chosen to do so at a delicate moment In this way
it could be a political blow to Xi Jinping undermining his efforts
o ease relations with the United States and restore the national economy
China continues to assert that the balloon was nothing more than
A meteorological research airship that deviated from its course
But experts say that the planned flight path of the balloon
Near certain missile bases suggests it is unlikely to have
deviated from its course Senator Marco Rubio told ABC that China
It intentionally flew the spy balloon over the United States
to send a message After all the United States was a great power
A superpower in decline Rubio claims that Washington'
s decision to wait until the object was off the coast
This played in China's favor He added that there could be a
hidden danger of China taking military action against Taiwan
and in the Indo-Pacific On Saturday President Biden said he had asked the
military to shoot down the balloon a day earlier but they informed him
There was too much potential for damage on land And in the midst of
the balloon controversy Washington will send Ukraine a new package
To defend their skies arms worth 2.1 billion dollars
including a new ground-to-air missile with a warhead
Explosive The aid also includes 425 million
dollars worth of equipment from American arsenals
Existing and 1.75 billion dollars
in contracts for the defense industry
The United States closed a Chinese consulate in the heart of New York
The State Department confirmed the news to the National Review
A police officer also verified the statement
There are still two other police stations open on American soil
One is in Los Angeles and the other is in an unknown location
NTD contacted the FBI and the State Department for more
information The FBI declined to comment and the Departme
The State Department said it had no more information to share at the moment
The Chinese regime has a network of more than 100 posts
similar police cases around the world Chinese authorities
claim that these offices help Chinese residents abroad
o process their passports while human rights groups
claim they help the PSC to harass and locate dissidents
who live in the United States Ireland and the Netherlands ordered the
closure of embassies in their territories and more than 10 countries
They launched an investigation into the matter
First strict lockdowns and
then a chaotic 180-degree
turn China's COVID-19 strategies aimed to reflect
To the Chinese and to take a step in a new direction
Chinese-American crowds joined a demonstration
Last week in Los Angeles they asked people to break
their ties with the Chinese Communist Party or CCP
The Chinese people are fed up and are awakening Many of
them are angry about the poor management of the pandemic
carried out by the communist regime Although authorities claim the
outbreak has ended videos on the internet tell a different story
Among the attendees at the meeting one said that he knew the Chinese
communist authorities were downplaying the situation because his wife
She worked as a nurse in a hospital in Wuhan and
urged people to draw a line in the sand with the PSC
To those living in mainland China if you realize the evil nature of
the party I suggest you do not join organizations related to the PSC
And that they do not let their children join
them I also love China but I hate the Communist Party
In addition to the ruling party the PSC has other affiliated organizations
such as the Youth League and the Pioneer Youth They are state-run groups
whose goal is to teach Chinese children loyalty to the party
The Communist Party caused many sufferings and disasters
e Chinese people and we should not forgive them So if we love
Whether we have been members of the Young Pioneers the Youth League or the Party
While we remain aligned with the values of normal human
beings we should refuse to be part of these groups
Other assistants urged people to take a closer
look at the history of the Chinese Communist Party
Calls to abandon the Chinese Communist Party reach as far as the Chinese
mainland and increasingly more citizens are distancing themselves from the regime
Let's look at what is happening
She announced her withdrawal from all groups related
to the Communist Party But what motivated her decision
He recalled Beijing's cover-up and lack of information regarding
COVID-19 at the beginning of 2020 which led to global spread
on the virus and a pandemic But back then he said
he didn't feel it had a major impact on his life
Although its school implemented strict entry controls
Its turning point came last year when the authorities
They suddenly abolished the country's zero-COVID policy without
warning and her grandmother died from a severe infection
It was then that he became aware of what he called the cruelty and
inaction of the Chinese communist regime In Shanghai another citize
He joined the ranks of those who resigned from the PSC Chen learned about the outbreak
The family of the deceased person was infected with COVID-19 during the Lunar New Year holidays
In his statement he wrote
Refusing to forget refusing to forgive That is the motto
of a commemorative event held in New York over the weekend
Assistants stated that they refuse to forget the first
whistleblower who sounded the alarm about the COVID-19 pandemic
In Wuhan doctor Li Wenliang as well as others died
from the virus Moreover they say they will not forgive
The Chinese Communist Party in terms of its management
of the pandemic This Tuesday marks the third year
The anniversary of Li Wenliang's death Similar events
were also held in other cities Here on 96th Street
On the west side of Central Park in New York City there is a memorial
bench dedicated to Dr Li Wenliang On the third anniversary of his death
One can see people coming here one after another to place flowers as a
sign of mourning There is a quote from Li Wenliang engraved on the bench
A society that is healthy should not have a single voice
First of all we want to express our condolences to the people who died
Because of the virus We will not forget them Second we will never give up
We will never forgive the PSC's tyranny Li Wenliang was one
of the doctors who first sounded the alarm three years ago
About the dangers of the PSC virus the cause of COVID-19
At that time it was only known as an unknown pneumonia that was spreading
Wuhan Doctor Li was quickly silenced by the police
And later died from the virus on February 7 2020
When many people know about the disasters of Chinese history
They often do not understand why such things can happen But after experiencing
the pandemic of the last three years we can see that under the communist regime
In China all kinds of human tragedies are possible
In Los Angeles about 50 people gathered in front of the Chinese consulate
In the city as a sign of mourning for Li Wenliang A man attacked the event
and was later arrested by the police The participants in the event
They say he was a Chinese student Similar events were held in
San Francisco Australia New Zealand Japan Germany and France
More reports suggest that China is seriously
underestimating its COVID-19 death numbers
China announced on Wednesday that nearly 80 000 deaths occurred in hospitals
Since the virus restrictions were lifted throughout
the country on December 8th Authorities also declared
at the number of fatalities reached its peak with nearly
43 000 at the beginning of January But experts questio
These figures and testimonials from residents also contradict them
The data from the Chinese Communist Party are not credible they are a joke
According to data from the Chinese CDC the peak
number of deaths in a single day was only 4 273 cases
In China there are more than 35 000 first second and third level hospitals
That amounts to just one death per eight hospitals
And I'm not even including the lower-level medical institutions
According to data from the end of 2021 there are at least 7 000 ovens
crematoriums throughout China If the peak number of deaths in a single day is 4 273
It does not even reach the number of cremation ovens
But the reality is that many morgues and hospitals are full of corpses
And crematoriums cannot meet the demand
A resident from Xilin County in northern China gave another version
He said his friend from a nearby city queued up for the cremation
services for his family during the Lunar New Year holidays a week ago
People had been waiting for more than a month There were
many deaths In the city of Antun 36 people died in one day
A netizen from Shanghai reported that his mother passed away on January 21
And he added that at the funeral home they took her to they
told them the waiting time for the cremation was at least a month
And that's all for today's China in Focus
