YouTube Description
as posted by the channelObviously, the Cold War in which we find ourselves with China is a global event. But it already has a strong impact on our lives right here in the United States. These effects are visible in a lot of ways, which we're going to talk about here today. Some will surprise you, but some will feel familiar, like one from late January of this year.
Many of our listeners will recall the large balloon that was spotted over the Midwest, and was tracked by the government as it crossed over the United States. Federal officials shot the balloon down when it passed over the Atlantic Ocean on February 4. We now know that this was a Chinese spy balloon carrying sophisticated surveillance equipment, and was actually capable of maneuvering itself. For example, it flew in figure eight patterns over numerous US Military sites.
On this episode of Heritage Explains, we re-enact this event at Heritage and dig into the other ways that China is involving itself within United States borders. We discuss these issues with China expert Michael Pillsbury.
