#China's spy balloons don't seem to be major worry for @usairforce

"They have a very aggressive intelligence collection program" @SecAFOfficial Frank Kendall tells reporters at @GWUPMNS

But he adds the spy balloons "are a very small part of that & not highly consequential"
What does worry @usairforce about #China's surveillance capabilities?

"The space part of it" per @SecAFOfficial Kendall "...is very significant & very consequential"
"A big part of that [#China's] operational capability is surveillance, reconnaissance, targeting" per @SecAFOfficial Kendall

"Their use of space to do things like try to target aircraft carriers, trying to target mobile units, ground units of various types"
