看外交部问答最后一段。访中是不是米方一厢情愿啊。
问：3日，美国务院高官在电话吹风会上称，受中国无人飞艇进入美领空事件影响，美国务卿布林肯已决定推迟访华行程。中方对此有何评论？
答：关于中国无人飞艇因不可抗力误入美国领空事，中方已核查并向美方作出反馈。该飞艇属民用性质，用于气象等科研。受西风带影响，且自身控制能力有限，该飞艇严重偏离预定航线。这完全是一次不可抗力导致的意外情况，事实非常清楚。中国一贯严格遵守国际法，尊重各国主权和领土完整，无意也从不侵犯任何主权国家的领土和领空。美国一些政客、媒体借题发挥，对中国攻击抹黑，中方坚决反对。
保持各层级接触沟通是中美两国元首巴厘岛会晤重要共识。两国外交团队的职责之一就是妥善管控双边关系，尤其是冷静、稳妥处理一些意外情况。事实上，中美双方都没有宣布过什么访问，美方发布有关消息是美方自己的事情，我们予以尊重。

台湾人说的似乎不对，加拿大上周末已经发现这个气球，并且全程追踪它穿过加拿大境内的阿省和萨省，但是由于时间的敏感性原因，并未对外宣布，直到美国对外公布后，加拿大才证实对气球的跟踪。当发现它接近美国核发射基地后，Norad 向美国通报，美国派战斗机密切观察后，确认气球没有携带武器，装备了高精度的摄像机。加拿大国防部的一份声明中说，正在严密监视第二潜在的活动，发现有小型物体从气球中释放出来，担心会对飞机造成威胁，已经向阿省和萨省的飞行员发出提醒警告。
美国情报部门说，除了现在美国上空，和已经证实在拉美上空的气球之外，中国至少放飞4个类似的气球。
Canada tracked suspected Chinese spy balloon over Canadian airspace since last weekend: sources

The suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that was found floating over sensitive military sites in the western United States had been tracked by Canada's government since last weekend as it passed through Canadians airspace, sources tell CTV News.
Canadian officials have not publicly stated whether the massive high-altitude balloon entered Canadian airspace. But sources told CTV News it had passed over the Canadian Arctic, Alberta and Saskatchewan before it was spotted over Montana on Thursday, as it flew over a nuclear launch site. Sources told CTV News it was tracked the entire time it was in Canadian airspace.
After being flagged by Norad, the joint U.S.-Canadian agency responsible for air defence in both nations, U.S. fighter jets investigated the balloon and determined it wasn't fitted with any weapons, but was equipped with high-resolutions cameras.
Even though Canadian officials had known about the balloon since the weekend, the Department of National Defence only confirmed it had been tracking the balloon late Thursday night, after the U.S. had announced the spotting of the balloon.
When asked about why the public was never informed about the balloon until after it had entered U.S. airspace, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino cited the sensitivity of the timing of the information.
"We have to strike that balance and make sure that we are not in any way compromising our operations and the techniques that we use to protect Canadians. But we're upfront about what we need to do and when we can share that information," he told CTV News Channel's Power Play on Friday.
"We do, and we work closely with our allies on that front as well. And we'll continue to do so that we can protect our perimeter, our sovereignty and our national security."
A statement from the Defence Department also mentioned it was monitoring a "potential second incident" but did not elaborate further. Sources told CTV News that a smaller object may have been released from the balloon that might pose a risk to planes. A flight advisory was issued to pilots in Alberta and Saskatchewan in response.
Sources also told CTV News U.S. intelligence knows of a total of at least four of these balloons from China sent to other countries, beyond the one currently over the U.S. That includes the one the Pentagon confirmed late Friday night floating over Latin America.
This incident comes at a time of heightened tensions between China and the West. In a statement, the Chinese foreign ministry said the balloon did come from China and apologized for its entry into U.S. airspace, but insisted the balloon was used for civilian research purposes rather than espionage.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was set to visit Beijing on Friday for high-stakes talks, but the visit was abruptly cancelled. Global Affairs Canada (GAC) also announced it had summoned China's ambassador, Cong Peiwu.
"China's ambassador to Canada was summoned by officials at Global Affairs Canada," GAC spokeswoman Charlotte MacLeod said in a statement on Friday. "We will continue to vigorously express our position to Chinese officials through multiple channels."
