CNN please enlighten us why you use term like “Chinese Balloon” when making this video, if it was “Racist” to call a virus “Chinese” purely based on origin then tell us how using Chinese Balloon is any different

Lets examine a CNN article published back in 2020 by you guys

“CNN) President Donald Trump was pressed for the second straight day on why he is calling the coronavirus the "Chinese virus," amid instances of bigotry against Asian Americans.
After consulting with medical experts, and receiving guidance from the World Health Organization, CNN has determined that that name is both inaccurate and is considered stigmatizing.——-https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/03/17/politics/trump-china-coronavirus/index.html

Yet you in this very video are using term “Chinese” to describe a balloon. CNN do you want to explain to the people of this country why you were not more sensitive in your wording, and maybe instead referred to it in a more appropriate way, like “an inflatable device sent from an Eastern land”
