Republican senators said there was a"very disturbing possibility" that manufacturing in the United States aided the construction of the Chinese surveillance balloon after a national security briefing on Capitol Hill.
"American companies shouldn't be helping build spy satellites that are used against their own citizens," Sullivan told reporters after the briefing."Maybe there's nothing to be said about that, but somebody asked about it, and nobody, nobody in that briefing said, 'Oh, it's not a problem.'"Hawley also slammed the Biden administration and Pentagon for being"ill-prepared" despite knowing that Chinese surveillance balloons existed.
"They've already made it public that we've known that there have been previous balloon flights over U.S. territories and, of course, the United States in years past," Hawley said."They knew that already, and yet they had nothing prepared to deal with this espionage balloon that came right over the United States. I mean, it's really an incredible, incredible lack of planning. And frankly, I think major, major lapses of judgment.
"We are confident that the balloon manufacturer has a direct relationship with China’s military and is an approved vendor of the PLA, according to information published in an official procurement portal for the PLA," the State Department said Thursday, according to Fox News.
