Taiwan’s defence ministry said it had detected six more Chinese balloons flying over the Taiwan Strait on Sunday, one of which crossed the island, the latest in a spate of such balloons the ministry says it has seen over the past month-and-a-half.
The ministry earlier this month, in a strongly worded statement, accused China of threatening aviation safety and waging psychological warfare on the island’s people with the balloons, days before Taiwan’s Jan. 13 elections.
Absolutely nothing. They really pumped up that new red scare propaganda though.
They are spy balloons, so what are you on about?
One of them might have actually been a weather balloon. Not from China though. They adjusted their radars to catch balloons better after the first one and suddenly noticed a whole lot of them, some Chinese and some local.
None alien though, sorry UFO enthusiasts, I know you guys got your hopes up there.
I mean, what do you think SHOULD have happened?
Agreed. They should’ve just shot it down and been done with it. It wasn’t any more of a threat to us than their satellites are.
Fuck off, wumao.
