Not convinced this was a Chinese spy balloon- more like a scare event brought to you by your friendly DS players… remember we are watching a movie starring Trump, Putin and Xi versus US ruling class cabal…
Exactly. In my opinion the balloon was an American launched distraction/hoax from the latest Project Veritas video on Pfizer. - Plus Blinken was about to have his ass handed to him again by China. - The China meeting has now been kicked down the road, whilst massaging the anti-China fervor in the West.
Doesn't mean it can't be an American DS plot device. If we can read news papers from space, track the jet stream, and what not, how hard would it be to launch a balloon in just the right spot that it looks like it's tracked from China?
Really hard, when the Chinese admit that it is theirs and the origin was within mainland China. Most times, reality is best taken at face value.
This was a thought-provoking event for me. At the outset, I thought the Biden delay was mere prevarication in service to China, and a face-saving stratagem against the possibility we had no means of intercepting the balloon. China wins.
But, now, in light of recent information, it turns out that the military was aware of the surveillance potential of the balloon, and likely determined that it was a better course to let it proceed---but button up our facilities and deploy all our signals intelligence and countermeasures assets to (1) listen in on whatever the balloon was reporting back, and (2) possibly jamming the uplink to prevent its use by China. And then terminate its flight at a point where its mission was over, no civilians were in danger of the crash impact of the huge payload assembly, and a relatively intact recovery was possible. China loses.
It is as though the military was alert, rational, convinced Biden of a course of action that was prudent (though not popular) and Biden went along with it. Very, very interesting. A reality that does not fit any theory---which is the way that reality tends to work when humans are key components of the event.
So now, I am inclined to be more circumspect in drawing conclusions about events. The oft-repeated advice here of waiting 2 or 3 days is good advice.

The balloon track originated in China.

Agreed. The amount of press and Social Media coverage this "story" picked up isn't coincidental. Not by a long shot.
