This certainly could be classified as an act of war if someone really wanted one, but fundamentally, this mostly seems like China gloating.
When Gary Powers was shot down over the USSR, it is because all Human Intel from the Soviet Union was subverted, captured, or executed on a pretty regular basis (remember that about 1/3rd of the State Department were passing information to the KGB). The only mechanism we had for gaining internal intelligence on the Soviet Union outside of the NYT pushing Kremlin propaganda, and Hollywood Communists actively advocating for the Soviet Union, was through high-altitude over-flights deep in Soviet territory. Power's mission was literally the absolute last mission because the US knew that some new SAM sites were being built that would make the U-2's obsolete.
Turns out, the intel was wrong, and the Soviet SAMs were literally built early, on the exact path that the Americans tended to travel for over-flight missions. Which is why Gary was shot down.
In this case, not only does the Chinese military already have all possible Human Intel: most journalist outlets, most financial organization leadership, nearly the entirety of academia, co-operation from most social media companies, grass roots support in some immigrant communities, all available phone data on phones which downloaded TikTok, as well as a direct connection to "Two Stacks" Joe "10% For The Big Guy" Biden and a slew of other politicians... but they ALSO want SIGINT in Alaska.
There's not gonna be a war with China because the globalists would either lose because they are so heavily invested in China, or have to finally evacuate the US. As much as this should be considered an act of aggression, it's nothing more than the last piece of ticker tape as the equivalent of Chinese tanks roll through New York.
The only people we should be pissed about is Northern Command and Pacific Command for proving that the US has effectively zero air-defense capabilities.
Why are you escalating to the extreme position of nukes? It's simple tit-for-tat aggression being called for, which you can argue isn't called for but it's not unreasonable. Nobody's called for nukes, just doing the same thing to China. You punch me I punch you. I don't murder your whole family.
There wouldn't even need to be a conflict at all. Just fly the balloons over their territory and see what they do. For all we know it could turn into a funny tradition where countries start ballooning one another. There are many outcomes where we can be remain friendly and on good terms without sitting down and taking the cuck position that anyone gets to violate our territory without response.
China has fucking satellites in orbit that pull better data. This isn't China gloating, this is proof positive that people are willing to lose their damn minds over anything.
Google Earth has high resolution satellite images of the continental US, they know what our towns and cities look like down to the street level.

Dude, it's a weather balloon.

Right, because the only form of SIGINT that a ballon can gather is only visual imagery.
It's not like the US used the claim "weather balloon" for a top secret, nuclear, atmospheric detection equipment. No no. Only pictures.
Anytime I see a post trying to defend or downplay the CCP, I'm immediately reminded that I have this saved a text file.
