Chinese spy balloon that floated across the U.S. before being shot down off the South Carolina coast in 2023 was carrying technology from at least five American companies, report says.

Chinese spy balloon contained U.S.-made tech, sparking concerns over export controls and prompting policy review to prevent future incidents.

The Chinese spy balloon that traversed across the US in 2023 was secretly fitted out with American technology that may have allowed it to spy on Americans.
