The U.S. State Department has postponed Secretary of State Antony Blinken's trip to Beijing after American officials said they had found a Chinese spy balloon above the continental U.S., according to multiple published reports. China's Foreign Ministry said Friday that the balloon the U.S. suspects of conducting surveillance was a civilian "airship" used for research, mainly meteorological purposes.
