Former NORAD Chief on Spy Balloons: ‘Our Vulnerabilities Are Going To Become More and More Important’ as China Advances

EXCERPT:

SCIUTTO: "China appears to be deliberately exploiting or attempting to exploit this area and altitude known as near space. In your view, have they been successful doing so? Do we have any sense as to what they've gained by sending balloons like this up there?"
CLANCY: "No, I -- I don't think we have a good sense. But I think that that study started, you know, when I was there at NORAD and -- and continues on China is a glowing -- growing, sorry you know, international power. It has military power that really is regionally based, while Russia has global military power. I think that we're seeing China advanced in these areas, and I think our vulnerabilities are going to become more and more important."
