“The intelligence community, their assessment – and it's a high-confidence assessment – [is] that there was no intelligence collection by that balloon,” Milley said, confirming China’s assertion that the balloon was blown off course.

U.S. handwringing over the balloon brought China ties to a new low, and exposed the warmongering lust of the neocon 🤡 show steering Washington’s foreign policy.

The article you linked says, multiple times, that it was a spy balloon. No one is arguing whether China did or did not use it to spy on America except you.

Your only argument seems to be that a F1 race car while parked is no longer a race car because it's not currently racing.

Are you still counting the Iraqi WMDs when you go to bed?

Once again, learn the concept of framing and to separate framing from the facts presented. It will help your reading comprehension immensely.
