Hawley Announces Senate Resolution Condemning CCP for Spy Balloon
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) will introduce a resolution in the Senate condemning the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for flying a spy balloon over the United States.
The balloon—first reported on Feb. 1 after it was spotted in the skies over Billings, Montana—traveled the length of the country, collecting data over multiple U.S. missile and nuclear weapons sites before it was eventually shot down off the coast of South Carolina on Feb. 4.
Hawley’s resolution (pdf) not only denounces the CCP’s invasion of U.S. airspace to conduct surveillance but also calls upon President Joe Biden to “be transparent with the American people and Congress” about the incident and “all other attempts by the Chinese Communist Party to conduct surveillance on United States citizens, territory, and assets.”…
