It is difficult to predict exactly what China would do if it detected a US balloon flying over its territory. However, it is likely that China would take actions to address the violation of its airspace. This could range from a diplomatic protest to more aggressive measures, such as forcing the balloon to land or shooting it down.

The actions taken by China would likely depend on various factors, such as the altitude and purpose of the balloon, the location, and the overall state of relations between the US and China. In general, unauthorized military or espionage-related activities in another country's airspace would be considered a serious matter and would likely be met with a strong response.

It is important for all nations to respect each other's sovereignty and airspace, and to avoid actions that could escalate tensions and lead to conflict.

如果发现美国气球在其领土上空飞行，很难预测中国会怎么做。

然而，中国很可能会采取行动解决美国气球侵犯领空的问题。这可能包括外交抗议，也可能包括更具侵略性的措施，例如迫使气球降落或将其击落。

中国采取的行动可能取决于各种因素，例如气球飞行的高度和用途、地点以及中美关系的总体状况。

总的来说，在另一个国家的领空进行未经授权的军事或间谍活动，会被视为一个严重的问题，可能会激起强烈的反应

所有国家都必须尊重他国的主权和领空，避免采取可能加剧紧张局势并导致冲突的行动

Go up in another balloon, study the instruments, upload bad data and disable the balloon, tow it down and hand it to US complete with bad data.

乘另一个气球上去，研究上面的仪器，上传坏数据并禁用气球，将其拖下来，连同坏数据一起交给美国。

If China detected a US balloon flying over its territory, it would likely view it as a violation of its sovereignty. The chinese could respond in various ways, including scrambling fighter jets to intercept the balloon, lodging a diplomatic protest with the US government, or potentially shooting it down. The exact response would depend on a number of factors, including the altitude of the balloon, its perceived purpose, and the state of relations between China and the US at the time.

如果发现美国气球在中国领空飞行，中国很可能会认为这是对其主权的侵犯。中国可能会做出各种反应，包括出动战斗机拦截气球，向美国政府提出外交抗议，或可能将其击落。

确切的反应将取决于许多因素，包括气球的飞行高度、其预期用途以及当时中美两国的关系状况。

Before it penetrated Chinese air space they would just shoot it down.

They certainly wouldn’t turn into a drama queen and claim spy balloon. If it is a spy balloon why did the NORAD let it enter US air space and let it drift all the way to Montana?

It’s ridiculous.

在进入中国领空之前，中国就会把它击落啊。

当然不会变成一场戏剧，说那个是间谍气球。如果这是一个间谍气球，为什么北美防空司令部让它进入美国领空，让它一路飘到蒙大拿州？

这太荒谬了。

It will capture it n take it to some isolated territory defuse it n remove the parts n do a reverse engineering n make better spy balloons for use allover the world.

他们会捕捉它，把它拖到一些孤立的地方，拆除它，拆除零件，进行逆向工程，然后造更好的间谍气球，供全世界使用。

Shoot it down with a hypersonic chi-powered bamboo spear?

会用高超音速的气动竹枪把它击落？

China would not allow a US balloon to intrude into its air space.

中国不会允许美国气球侵入其领空。
