China has blow up a spy balloon to spy on other countries military area and to grab other secrete information the balloon travels all other county like Japan, India and US.
A normal man who is passing near airport absorbed the spy balloon he thought that was a UFO and called police and other Intelligence officers when they observed that was a spy balloon they blasted with air jet in ocean.
The “surveillance balloon” has collected information on military assets “in countries of emerging strategic interest to China” such as India
China has operated a fleet of spy balloons targeting several countries including India and Japan, a media report has said, days after the U.S. military shot down a Chinese surveillance craft floating over sensitive installations in the country.
U.S. officials have briefed its friends and allies including India on the finds of the Chinese surveillance balloon that was shot down by a fighter jet off the coast of South Carolina in the Atlantic Ocean on Saturday.
Officials have said these surveillance airships, operated in part by the PLA (People’s Liberation Army) air force, have been spotted over five continents, the daily reported.
“These balloons are all part of a PRC (People’s Republic of China) fleet of balloons developed to conduct surveillance operations, which also violated the sovereignty of other countries,” a senior defense official was quoted as saying.
According to the daily, in recent years, at least four balloons have been spotted over Hawaii, Florida, Texas and Guam — in addition to the one tracked last week

On Monday, Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman briefed officials from about 40 embassies here about it.
When Biden and Xi met in November, there was a lot of hope that the defense dialogue, the dialogue between the Chinese and U.S. military, was going to restart,” Cunningham said. “So far, the regular mechanism of military-to-military communication hasn’t restarted. I was hoping to at least see steps toward restarting that in Blinken’s visit to Beijing.
China’s intelligence officials, on the cusp of a meeting between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Chinese Secretary General Xi Jinping, provided U.S. officials with a mystery wrapped in a balloon
The question is the timing: Why would they do this right before the secretary of state’s meeting with Xi Jinping?” House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael Mc Caul (R-TX) said to the Washington Examiner. “It was a little bit of a shot across the bow.
“The surveillance balloon effort, which has operated for several years partly out of Hainan province off China’s south coast, has collected information on military assets in countries and areas of emerging strategic interest to China including Japan, India, Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines,
