The communications focused on the balloon&#8217;s navigation. The internet service provider, not listed in the linked article, denied that this was the case. They made this conclusion based on their internal investigation and on contacts with officials.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Fox News:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A new report revealed that the Chinese spy craft that flew over the U.S. at the beginning of this year was communicating with mainland China via an American internet provider.<\/p>\n<p>Two current and one former Biden administration officials told NBC News in a Thursday report that the craft used a U.S. internet provider to receive mainly navigational communications.<\/p>\n<p>NBC News did not name the internet provider in the report. The company denied that the Chinese spy craft used its services and had come to that conclusion via its own investigation as well as talking to U.S. officials.<\/p>\n<p>One official said the spy craft, which was shot down by the U.S. military off the coast of South Carolina on Feb. 4, used high-bandwidth data collections known as burst transmissions to send information.<\/p>\n<p>The report also said the Biden administration asked the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for a highly secretive order to collect intelligence on the craft as it flew over several states.<\/p>\n<p>The officials said that order would have allowed the government to monitor the spy craft&#8217;s communications during its journey.<\/p>\n<p>Several officials said in the report that, in the past, China has secretly used commercial internet providers in different nations as backup communications networks. Encrypted networks are often sought out for their security.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has additional information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/chinese-spy-craft-communicated-china-via-us-internet-provider-report\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chinese spy balloon that floated over the U.S. communicated with China via an American internet &hellip; <a title=\"A Chinese spy balloon communicated with China via an American internet provider\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=151325\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">A Chinese spy balloon communicated with China via an American internet provider<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[296,387],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-151325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-china","category-international-affairs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=151325"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151325\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=151325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=151325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=151325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
