Taiwan, Japan wants to shoot down China's weather balloons

Taiwan will shoot down mainland Chinese balloons if they are seen to present a threat, the island’s military has said.

The statement from the Taiwanese defence ministry on Tuesday (Jun 27) came as new reports emerged of Beijing’s “spy balloon” programme in the region, with latest findings by the BBC showing Taiwan and Japan were targeted in East Asia....

There was evidence of balloons crossing Japan and Taiwan in September 2021, the report said.

Japan has also confirmed that balloons flew over its territory and said it was prepared to shoot them down in future, the report on Monday said.  CNA

The BBC intentionally released a report that China's weather balloons could fly over Japan and Taiwan as they crossed into the Pacific to agitate the Japanese and Taiwanese of an imaginary threat. The Japanese and Taiwanese immediately fell into the trap and made announcement that they would shoot down the balloons 'if they posed a threat' thinking that they are the cowboy gangsters.

Is there a need to make silly and unnecessary comments about balloons that have no value to good relations except to irritate and maybe for the speakers to act like a man? What is the purpose of such statements? To please the Americans?

China should take this opportunity to send more weather balloons across Japan and Taiwan and let them shoot at the balloons. An inexpensive balloon for several expensive missiles is definitely a very good exchange. Secondly, it would draw out the hawks and the aggressive behaviour of Japan and Taiwan for shooting down innocent weather balloons and can be used as excuse to shoot down Japanese and Taiwanese ships or aircraft using the same reasons. The Japanese and Taiwanese would be seen as the aggressor to the world for spurious accusation that weather balloons are hostile, behaving like American gangsters.

If the foolish Japanese and Taiwanese would do as they said, 1,000 balloons for 2,000 or 3,000 missiles is a very good deal to expend their missile stocks. It would take several shots to take down a balloon.

All China needs to do is to dare the Japanese and the Taiwanese to do so, and they would do accordingly, or they would be seen as liars or big mouths, blow a lot of hot air but afraid to do anything.

With the Americans agitating, many silly little countries think it is ok to defy and provoke China and could get away harmlessly.

PS. This is a quote in RT. '“If the PLA side continues to ignore our warnings along the way and force their way into our territorial air space and seas, we will actively strike back to safeguard national security,” Major General Lin Wen-huang, a planning administrator at Taipei’s Ministry of National Defense (MND), said on Tuesday in comments carried by Taiwan’s Central News Agency.'

Does this general know that China could wipe out Taiwan in a matters of minutes but refraining to do so because China does not want Chinese to kill Chinese?

USA were laughed at by the whole world for spending substantially in shooting down China weather balloons. USA can't tolerate anymore of the laughter. USA wanted companions to suffer together with. Taiwan and Japan are chosen to take on these roles.

All these claims of weather balloons being engaged in spying is all propaganda hype up to demonise China. Wonder what sauce and spices the USA has been adding to the Chinese weather balloon, shot down by the USA months ago. Finding no clear evidence for revelation, it takes time to add in false evidence, and that means the information can only be released 50 years down the road. So many other 'cannot be seen or heard in daylight fiasco' need to be hidden for 50 years, last of which is the Pfizer COVID research papers.

Why would China need to fly weather balloons to collect information when they have satellites doing the job, unseen, doing it stealthily and covering even a broader area? Why fly a conspicous balloon the size of three buses, as in the case of the balloon sailing across the USA, to alarm the victim? It does not make sense.

The USA is so desperate in finding new propaganda to attack China, even telling doggies that China is spying on them and is a great threat. Of course, the USA is innocent and has nothing to do with them, like the innocent White man standing nearby watching two fish fighting in a pool of water, according to Native American Indian saying. The proxies will know what to do with a little prodding. And the doggies, like Taiwan and Japan fell for that horseshit and started barking like rabid dogs.

Fact is, it is the USA that had a bad history of spying on allies. They were caught red handed spying on Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron and who else we do not know. Do we honestly think the USA is not spying on Tsai and Kishida? Wake up doggies. The USA, via the CIA and partnering Germany, even sold rigged encryption machines, more than half a century ago to allies, and were able to find out their secret messages sent via those machines. The irony is that allies never seems to learn how far the USA will go to, to sabotage them.

China should keep sending up cheap balloons and let them shoot them down. Taiwan and Japan can keep throwing money buying missiles like 'buying turtles to throw into the sea'. Oh, in case I forgot, someone obviously benefits if old obsolete missiles are used to shoot down innocent weather balloons. Promoting a threat gives a good reason for allies and doggies to get rid of obsolete weapons, to be replaced by new ones from you know who and is a smart move. Lack of war is bad for the Military Industrial Complex, so no fish prawn also can.

North Korea fired two more missiles towards Japan and this is going to stir the rabid dogs to bark even louder. They even tried using the UN to add credibility to their voices each and every time this happens, not knowing that North Korea cares two hoots what the UN thinks. The UN is just a useless and toothless entity that the USA ignored over major issues, so what if North Korea do the same?
