Pentagon’s own admission on Feb. 6 of an “awareness gap” regarding previous Chinese balloon incursions in U.S. airspace has put a concerning vulnerability under the spotlight, according to Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.).

Michael Waltz (R-Fla.), who sits on the Armed Services and Intelligence committees, in a statement to The Epoch Times on Monday.
