Luke speaks with Kevin Pollpeter, research scientist at the Center for Naval Analyses China Studies Division & an internationally recognised expert on China's space program, following the U.S. shooting down China's spy balloon.

China has since threatened repercussions insisting the flyover was an accident involving a civilian aircraft.
