There are a lot of chinese nationals in the US. This kind of thinking is like those who think deporting all illegal immigrants will not somehow significantly harm the US economy. I feel like a lot of americans truly don't believe in "innocent until proven guilty" these days.

I wonder what a drone shot would give the CCP, that they wouldn't already have from satellites.

It's a potential goldmine. Spy satellites are on orbits and follow a very regular predictable path. I recall reading Patriot Games back in the day and terrorists had satellite timetables scrawled on a board so they knew when to cover their gear up with camouflage.

I can not believe that modern ones stay perfectly static without any built-in maneuvering capability to periodically change their orbit. I also can not believe that there isn't effectively continuous coverage of important sites by multiple satellites. You really think the billions (trillions?) of dollars spent on such equipment is completely outsmarted by people just covering things up on a set timetable?

Drones can also get better quality images than even many if not all spy satellites due to how close they can get to objects compared to the satellites.

I suppose they also have signal monitoring, the commands to the Chinese satellites would be encrypted but the mere detection of a signal should cause the observers to warn whomever it may concern within the US military/government behemoth.
Now I'm imagining signals being hidden in Chinese satellite TV uplink, amongst the Chinese pop music videos...
