James, if you care to look in on a news broadcast you will see the remains of the balloon being loaded onto a USA ship.
No doubt it will be fully scrutinized and all info in their deciphered.

Re: Chinese weather ballon????
A welsh man, Morgan the moon went there years ago on his space ship made from a old barrow and a coalmine engine, found that it was made of Caerphilly cheese, he is still there, but living on the dark side of the moon, the Chinese will have to have his permission to open a Chinese restaurant there. He doesn't have to worry about the Americans as they are struggling to get another space ship up there, it's been so long they have forgotten how to do it.

Announced in the news today by the commissioner of Police here in Melbourne.
Both UK and Oz have numerous surveillance cameras situated around major cities and certain regulated areas.
It has come to light that not only Chinese made but by a company owned by China.
Preprations are in place to remove all and replace with some from a more reliable source.
Beware Xi is watching you.

Re: Chinese weather ballon????
Chinese company ,Huawei - Building a Fully Connected, Intelligent World, they are struggling for exports!!!!
Joking apart I was foolish enough to buy a Huawei mobile about two years ago. Nearly everyday there was required updates. It felt weird I still had my old phone . which I used for the likes of What's App. The Huawei was sitting on my desk and it cloned all my contacts from the old phone and a few of my App's.
This was about the same time as the USA advised the UK not to let Huawei set up the 5G network in the UK??? Perhaps the US might have had another agenda as to why ?
