- Blinken said at a press conference with his South Korean counterpart on Friday: "the presence of this surveillance balloon over the United States in our skies is a clear violation of our sovereignty, a clear violation of international law, and clearly unacceptable.

- According to Oriana Skylar Mastro, a Stanford University expert on Chinese military affairs and foreign policy, China's weather balloon explanation should be rejected outright.
- China may have made a mistake and lost control of the balloon, but Mastro believes it was unlikely to be a deliberate attempt to disrupt Blinken's visit.
