Biden Claims It’s A ‘Possibility’ Communist China’s Xi Jinping Didn’t Know Spy Balloon Was Flying Over U.S.
President Joe Biden This week, it was stated that there is a “possibility” Xi Jinping, a communist Chinese leader was unaware that a spy balloon was over the U.S.
The Chinese spy satellite was first detected by the Pentagon over U.S. Airspace on January 28th. But Biden allowed it to travel across the U.S.A for a week, before finally having it downed off the coast South Carolina in February.
“Let me just ask you this first, do we know definitively yet whether or not that spy balloon was flying over the continental U.S. intentionally?” ABC News host David Muir asked.
“It is almost not relevant once it was over the United States,” Biden responded.
“So there’s a possibility President Xi didn’t know?” Muir asked.
“There is a possibility of that,” Biden claimed.
“Do we know definitively yet whether or not that [Chinese] spy balloon was flying over the continental U.S. intentionally?”

After the spy ballon was downed, three additional unidentified objects were later taken down by the U.S. over Canada, Lake Huron and Alaska.
“It is also common for U.S. balloons to illegally enter the airspace of other countries,” Wang Wenbin, spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, claimed that there is no evidence. “Since last year, U.S. high-altitude balloons have illegally flown over China’s airspace more than 10 times without the approval of Chinese authorities.”
Adrienne Watson, spokesperson for the National Security Council, stated that claims by the communist nation were false and that China was trying deflect from the embarrassing situation that they have created.
“It is China that has a high-altitude surveillance balloon program for intelligence collection, connected to the People’s Liberation Army, that it has used to violate the sovereignty of the United States and over 40 countries across five continents,” Watson tweets
“This is the latest example of China scrambling to do damage control,” She went on. “It has repeatedly and wrongly claimed the surveillance balloon it sent over the United States was a weather balloon and to this day has failed to offer any credible explanations for its intrusion into our airspace and the airspace of others.”
