I mean, having a spy balloon publicly flaunt your sovereignty is a pretty big f***ing issue and the current inaction is setting a pretty lousy precedent for how these things will be handled

You say this like both countries don't have plenty of other spy equipment already running. US-China espionage is a very open secret, and only the most serious threats are ever acted upon because employing violence to deal with more minor threats would be diplomatically unwise. This balloon is less a serious espionage threat and more a little bit of nationalistic dick-waving. The only thing genuinely at stake is the egos of those involved, and the fact that you seem to be personally offended by it says a lot about your priorities.
