The House is poised to formally condemn China for its use of a surveillance balloon over the United States, which was shot down by the military off the coast of South Carolina on Saturday.
introduced by GOP Rep. Mike McCaul of Texas, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, criticizes China for its"brazen violation of United States sovereignty" and denounces the Chinese Communist Party's efforts"to deceive the international community through false claims about its intelligence collection campaigns in violation of United States sovereignty."
House members received a briefing from the Biden administration about the balloon incursion, which the Pentagon said Wednesday is part of a"larger Chinese surveillance balloon program" that has operated for several years and over five continents. Senior administration officials confirmed previous balloons have also flown over parts of Hawaii, Texas and Florida, and they were over the U.S. on at least three occasions during the Trump administration.
McCaul said last week that the balloon"should have never been allowed to enter U.S. airspace" posed a threat to national security.
