US Military Shoots Down Chinese Spy Balloon Filled with American-Made Tech: Reports

The Chinese spy balloon that was shot down by the US military off the coast of South Carolina earlier this year was reportedly equipped with off-the-shelf American technology, according to US officials. The balloon, which flew over Alaska, Canada, and the continental US, collected photos and videos but did not transmit the information back to Beijing. The Biden administration believes the balloon may have contained American-made parts. Chinese officials have maintained that the balloon was a weather balloon that drifted off course.
