Explain why something that poses no threat must be shot down?

How do you figure a balloon built for spying poses no threat? Why should China or any other country be allowed to enter air space of a sovereign country? Just another example of how weak the Canadian Administration is and United States executive Administration.
The CCP is not stupid.

Pentagon says it poses no threat.
“Why not shoot it down? We have to do the risk-reward here,” a senior defense official said on Thursday. “So the first question is, does it pose a threat, a physical kinetic threat, to individuals in the United States in the US homeland? Our assessment is it does not. Does it pose a threat to civilian aviation? Our assessment is it does not. Does it pose a significantly enhanced threat on the intelligence side? Our best assessment right now is that it does not. So given that profile, we assess the risk of downing it, even if the probability is low in a sparsely populated area of the debris falling and hurting someone or damaging property, that it wasn’t worth it.”
How do you figure you know more than they do?
Why the US hasn't shot down the suspected Chinese surveillance balloon, according to officials
As the US and its Canadian partners continue to monitor a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon floating above the northern United States, one question stands out among the rest: Why hasn't it been shot down?

the media calls it a spy balloon, so that's what it must be?
the media says trump is a traitor, that the sedition caucus are traitors, that they're all guilty of trying to overthrow the government....
i don't hear you all jumping on that bandwagon...
you only go with the media when it suits your agenda?

Downing of Chinese Spy Balloon Ends Chapter in a Diplomatic Crisis (Published 2023)
The balloon, spotted earlier this week over the western United States, was brought down when an F-22 fighter jet fired an air-to-air missile at it off the coast of South Carolina.
U.S. Shoots Down Chinese Spy Balloon Off the Coast of the Carolinas
The airborne surveillance device was first spotted earlier this week over the western United States, setting off a diplomatic crisis.
WASHINGTON — The United States shot down a Chinese spy balloon on Saturday that had spent the last week traversing the country, American officials said, an explosive end to a drama that put a diplomatic crisis between the world’s two great powers onto television screens in real time.
The balloon, which spent five days traveling in a diagonal southeast route from Idaho to the Carolinas, had moved off the coast by midday Saturday and was over the Atlantic Ocean. The Federal Aviation Administration had paused departures and arrivals at airports in Wilmington, N.C., and in Myrtle Beach and Charleston in South Carolina, which the agency said was meant to “support the Department of Defense in a national security effort.”
President Biden had hinted at the move earlier on Saturday. “We’re going to take care of it,” Mr. Biden told reporters in Syracuse, N.Y., where he was visiting family members after the death of his brother-in-law.
