More secrets of the spy balloon: Shooting down the balloon worked as a military drill for the U.S.

As subsequent events unfold, we have noticed that this incident is inconsistent with Xi's agenda of trying to de-escalate international relations, particularly with the U.S. It should have revealed the internal strife within the CCP. The top brass of the PLA could have deliberately launched a balloon to sabotage Blinken's visit to China.
It would be tricky for Taiwan's defense, and it may take a relatively long decision time to respond to this kind of ambiguous provocation, thus losing the opportunity to act in a timely manner.
From a military perspective, the good thing about the balloon incident is that the U.S. military has made full use of this unexpected event to achieve the effect of a real-world combat exercise.
