China ‘surveillance’ balloons have operated over ‘five continents’: White House
The White House on Wednesday said that China has operated a global fleet of espionage balloons similar to the one shot down last week after crossing the United States.
“These balloons are all part of a (Chinese)… fleet of balloons developed to conduct surveillance operations,” Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters aboard Air Force One. “Over the past several years, Chinese balloons have previously been spotted all over countries across five continents.”
