Yes, it is definitely a silly move if it's really a spy balloon.

But I think it's still too early to draw the conclusion, given the strong Bayesian prior that how unlikely it is for China, with advanced spy satellites and a spy network in the US as accused by three-letter-agencies, to fly a huge, visible by naked-eye, balloon for spying and for starting an international incident.

According to the WSJ article I read today, it is indeed a spy balloon.

Well, then this time CPC certainly did a bad job unless they already got some valuable data.
