Republicans are reacting with disapproval following a hearing which examined the Biden DoD’s response to a Chinese spy balloon that traversed the continental United States last week.

Pentagon officials testified before a Senate Appropriations Defense hearing on Feb. 9, where they defended the department’s decision not to engage with China’s high-altitude surveillance balloon for an entire week, saying that it presented no immediate military threat.
