The Chinese statement that it is an errant weather balloon is plausible.  McCarthy and the Hawks are acting like it's a Death Star.  Blinken's trip got postponed.  Biden and Xi should just do a few balloons and chill.

Hopefully they're studying the telemetry it's sending (satellite?  ground?  etc), and all the great Tom Clancyesque goodness that goes with international pissing contests!

I'm not linking to faux news entertainment but that's the only "news" source I have seen reporing  the US  jammed the bawoon's ability to transmit signals earlier in the week.

why not just  send up some balloons and paint ball the hell out of the Chinese Balloon to disable the recording devices?
