It turns out that it wasn't a spy balloon, and everything China said about it was true.
Quote:Now, seven months later, Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, tells "CBS News Sunday Morning" the balloon wasn't spying. "The intelligence community, their assessment – and it's a high-confidence assessment – [is] that there was no intelligence collection by that balloon," he said.

It doesn't matter what its purpose was. You don't violate a sovereign country's airspace -- apologists be damned.
Also, I wouldn't disclose what I'd found out, either. I'd let the Chinese wonder and worry.
