Anne ApplebaumHas someone written the definitive explanation of why China, which has high tech satellites, internet spyware and access to reams of stolen data, would even need a spy balloon?
Noah Cook@anneapplebaum I assume this was used for domestic spying over central China? It's not like anyone's come up with any better means of interdiction in the past however many millenia the Silk Road has passed through there. No doubt they'll find some new Wile E Coyote contraption soon enough.
