China had expressed regret for the overflight, claiming it was a weather balloon that had been blown off course.
China has accused the US of overreacting, and has also confirmed it owns another balloon spotted over Latin America at the weekend.
US correspondent Kate Fisher spoke to Guyon Espiner from Washington.
