Saken er omtalt tidligere, men den kinesiske reaksjonen er allikevel verdt å merke seg. Den er helt i tråd med kinas krav om enorme områder av Sør-Kinahavet. Som kjent er denne anekteringen, også luftrommet over, dømt ulovlig av Haag domstolen. "....to within 10 feet..." må tas med en klype salt. (Red.)

China is hitting back at U.S. claims that one of
its fighter pilots behaved recklessly in an intercept over the South China Sea
last week. The Air Force released video on Thursday of a Chinese Navy J-11
flying close to one of its RC-135 intelligence gathering aircaft. The Air Force
claimed the intercept was unsafe and the fighter got within 10 feet of the
airborne listening post’s wing. The big spy plane ducked away from the fighter.
“We expect all countries in the Indo-Pacific region to use international airspace
safely and in accordance with international law,” the statement said.
China said it was the U.S. that was being
provocative by violating international law and making “dangerous approaches” to
the Chinese aircraft after ignoring numerous warnings. “The United States
deliberately misleads public opinion… in an attempt to confuse the
international audience,” spokesman Tian Junli said in a statement.
