It's interestng that so many people have a solution when there's no way they know anything that's actually going on behind the scenes.
But...
The article pointed out that shooting a balloon out of the sky at 60,000 feet isn't as easy as people (you) think.
I think there are a few additional problems.
Start with why China did this? This was no accident. They probably want a response and are hoping that we fail to shoot it out of the sky. For all we know we've already tried to do so.
Now I know that everything bad in America suddenly started two years ago, but if the Chinese did this to prove a point, it worked.
I think if we could have shot this balloon down we would have.
Another possibility is they may be seeking a way to take it down intact. That's the best move available I believe. Because if the Chinese were testing with a spy balloon and we took it down intact and get the intel, that's a win win.
