Episode notes
There's a long history of Chinese surveillance craft, including balloons coming into various orbits that affect the US and other countries. These things are really still seen as sort of a low level tool of state craft because they don't really have radar. They can drift along for days, usually out of sight and they're not caught on radar. The interesting thing is that with the deployment of satellites and advanced technology, there's still the use of these balloons above all to take picturesReally of terrain. There have been reports the US government is looking to beef up its own use of surveillance balloons going forward.
