Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said China is an “adversary” after two more unidentified objects were shot down over North American airspace late last week, raising concerns that there were more objects like the suspected Chinese spy balloon flying over the country.
“We call it strategic competition but in a lot of ways it’s more than that. China is a competitor certainly but in some areas like this they’re also an adversary,” Kaine said in an interview on Fox News Channel. “One of the most disturbing pieces of news I heard this week was when [Defense Secretary] General [Lloyd] Austin tried to call his Chinese counterpart about the balloon incident, they didn’t pick up the phone.”
Public information about the objects shot down over the past few days have remained scant.
