A Chinese spy balloon floating over the U.S. has raised alarm bells among experts and lawmakers over China's ongoing efforts to buy land across the U.S.
A Chinese spy balloon is now over the central U.S. and will be in U.S. airspace for "a few days," Defense Department press secretary Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder said at a briefing Friday.
The suspected spy balloon was spotted over Montana, home to one of the nation's three nuclear missile silo fields at Malmstrom Air Force Base. The Chinese surveillance balloon has prompted Montana lawmakers to push for a ban on Chinese agricultural land purchases in the state. "China has stepped up its espionage activities against sensitive military facilities," said Gordan Chang, author of"The Coming Collapse of China and The Great U.S.-China Tech War.""This is clearly part of a pattern."
In Texas, meanwhile, a Chinese company owned by a former Chinese soldier with ties to the ruling Communist Party bought 130,000 acres near Laughlin Air Force Base, where pilots are trained. STEFANIK, ROUNDS LEAD BIPARTISAN BILL TO PREVENT CHINA, FOREIGN ADVERSARIES FROM BUYING INTO US AGRICULTURE"Whether this is actually part of plan or not, these purchases are suspiciously close to sensitive military facilities and therefore shouldn't be allowed," said Chang.
