Schumer Claims China Was ‘Humiliated’ by Spy-Balloon Scandal
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) claimed Sunday that the Chinese spy-balloon scandal, in which Beijing gained access to U.S. airspace for a week—including over an intercontinental-ballistic-missile site—was ultimately a net loss and embarrassment for Beijing.
After apprehending the surveillance balloon over Montana, the U.S. government tracked it for five days, allowing it to drift over U.S. and Canadian airspace for a total of eight days before finally shooting it down over the Carolina coast last Saturday.“I think the Chinese were humiliated,” Schumer said on ABC’s This Week. “I think the Chinese were caught lying. I think it’s a real step back for them.”
