A reported Chinese spy balloon was caught flying over the continental United States in early February leading to the cancellation of Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s upcoming trip to China. China has maintained that it was a simple weather surveillance balloon veered off course but the event has remained in the public eye. We unpack this show with Analysts Kieran Besancon and Aya Gusemalseed. Our News Briefer for this episode is Christian Lafond.
