They know what it’s seeing and are tracking it. Don’t blow it out the sky until you’ve got all the intell you need.
You don’t kill spies when you detect them, you monitor them going forward until you know it’s mission
Allegedly

The frickin Japs sent balloon bombs over the lake to us during WW2. Actually killed a few people. One of those stories lost to time for most people.

The Chinese after Watching Yellowstone are interested in learning more about Big Sky Country.

The hot air that would be released would be devastating to the environment. Duh.

That's the way espionage works.

We can’t shoot it down until our compromised government allows the Chinese to gather as much info as possible.

“Let the spy balloon stay in the air and spy so that we can see what they are spying on.”
I hope that isn’t how our espionage system works.

You know what, this sounds so Chinese that I'm inclined to believe they would actually do this.
There sure are a lot of Chinese in Canada, many of whom are fighting age. That's just a coincidental observation.
Speaking of which, I seem to remember there being a fuss about a secret CCP "training facility" (aka, base) in either Alberta or British Columbia some years back before Covid tinted every headline. That would be a weird coincidence.

It should have already been dispatched, really getting tired of damn Chinese. I hope we are working on new virus that only kills Chinese

As soon as the check clears for the Big Guy, the balloon can stay.

In that south that thing would be on the ground and converted into a smoker.

Precisely. "Hey Chinese, send all your data back home before we blow you out of the sky."
