For me, with everything we know, which is that China had a visit from the US Secretary of State planned for the next day, China's public statements that they want to work with the US and de-escalate, the US saying they've been tracking the balloon for a while now but choosing to announce on the eve of Blinken's visit but not earlier, indicates for whatever reason, the US changed their mind about de-escalation of the tensions between the two countries, which sucks for the world.

Maybe they can let the balloon participate in Super Bowl activities though!
