The U.S. fighter jet shot down a Chinese-owned weather balloon, which sparked a conversation on Chinese social media about the incident.
-
Chinese internet is heavily censored and the government works to guide public opinion, so the #WanderingBalloon hashtag and another hashtag about the second Chinese balloon over Latin America were both censored.

Despite the censorship, some commenters expressed skepticism about the official story and some political analysis was offered, which largely blamed the United States for hyping the incident to gain an edge in future negotiations.

China has taken down posts that accused the U.S. government of trying to create a new Cold War, likely in an effort to maintain a better relationship with the U.S.
-
Beijing may also be trying to allow the issue to fade as the mission, whether for weather data or spying, was botched and the government has encouraged people to see accusations of Chinese wrongdoing as fabricated.

Even with this, the balloon incident prompted some disorientation with one of the most liked comments under a state media Weibo post reading “So it really is from our country…”
