'China conducted Spy Balloon programme for years': Pentagon
BY Connect News, Feb 8, 2023 8:53 PM - REPORT AN ERROR
Pentagon claims that similar balloons passed over U.S. territory on four occasions during the Trump and Biden
The Pentagon says the Chinese balloon shot down off the South Carolina coast was part of a large surveillance program that China has been conducting for ``several years.''
The Pentagon press secretary says when similar balloons passed over U.S. territory on four occasions during the Trump and Biden
administrations, the U.S. did not immediately identify them as Chinese surveillance balloons.
It was only ``subsequent intelligence analysis'' that allowed the U.S. to confirm they were part of a Chinese spying effort and learn ``a lot more'' about the program.
The spokesman, Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, refused to provide any new details about those previous balloons on Wednesday.
