And it cannot go unanswered,\u201d Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and sponsor of the measure, said on the House floor during debate Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey only understand one thing and that is force, and that\u2019s projecting power, and we need to project power and force and strength against the Chinese Communist Party,\u201d he added. \u201cThey must understand that we do desire peace, but infringing upon our sovereignty leads us down a dangerous path. Our adversaries must believe that any future incursion into American airspace by a spy balloon or any other vehicle will be met with decisive force. And that is why the House should pass this resolution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Pentagon last week announced that it was tracking a high-altitude Chinese surveillance balloon floating over the U.S., prompting widespread <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> coverage. On Saturday, the U.S. shot down the object over water off the coast of South Carolina, and the American military is now working to recover the debris.<\/p>\n<p>The situation prompted Secretary of State Antony Blinken to postpone his <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> to Beijing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Republicans were quick to criticize President Biden for waiting days to shoot down the balloon, which allowed the object to float across several states in the U.S. The president said he ordered the Pentagon last week to shoot down the balloon \u201cas soon as possible,\u201d and his national security officials determined that \u201cthe best time to do that was when it got over water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the criticism, McCaul this week said he wanted the resolution to be a bipartisan effort rather than a partisan measure that knocked the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s too important of an issue,\u201d McCaul told reporters on Monday. \u201cWe want to stand strong together against China instead of having our internal fights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The resolution calls on the Biden administration to continue keeping Congress apprised of developments through \u201ccomprehensive briefings on this incident\u201d that include a timeline of when the balloon was first detected to when it was shot down, an assessment of surveillance data the People\u2019s Republic of China was potentially able to collect or send, a detailed account of measures taken to mitigate the intelligence collection threat from the balloon, a description of options to mitigate the situation, and an account of diplomatic communications between Washington and Beijing on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution also requests information on previous times the People\u2019s Republic of China used surveillance balloons across the world.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>And it denounces Beijing for its \u201cefforts to deceive the international community through false claims about its intelligence collection campaigns\u201d that violated American sovereignty. Beijing has insisted the object was a civilian weather balloon that went off course and mistakenly entered U.S. airspace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
