BEIJING, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Defense Ministry here on Saturday urged the U.S. side to stop close-in surveillance of China, and create a sound atmosphere for bilateral military ties.
The ministry spokesman Yang Yujun said in a statement that one U.S. anti-submarine plane and one patrol aircraft flew to an airspace about 220 kilometers east of China's Hainan Island to conduct close-in surveillance Tuesday morning, and then a Chinese fighter jet took off to make regular identification and verification.
Commenting on relevant criticism made by the U.S. side, Yang said that was "totally groundless," as the Chinese pilot, with professional operation, kept the jet within a safe distance from the U.S. aircraft.
It was U.S. massive and frequent close-in surveillance of China that endanger the two sides' air and marine security, and is the root of accidents, he said.
China urged the U.S. side to abide by international law and international practice, respect concerns of the coastal countries, and properly deal with the differences between the two sides on air and marine security issues, he said.
Yang said that the U.S. side should follow the principle of non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation, take concrete actions, reduce and finally stop close-in surveillance of China, so as to create a sound atmosphere for bilateral military ties.
“Whatcha hidin’?”
Oops...sorry. I forgot: ISIS is the grave threat to the US.
Nevermind.
/s
It should be obvious this has already begun.
Fact is: We do not have a POTUS!!! Obama is really one of them, the enemy!!! Would not be surprised if Obama is not a full blown brotheer of the Muslim Beotherhood/ISIS!!! America.....you best broom this Obama guy...force him to resign.
Once the USA Miltary and SOD turned on him...it is “Hitler” time all over again right here int he USA. The high command of Germany saw that Hitler was insane, and was destroying the German nation!!! The verbal sign and words from the very mouths of folks that Obama appointed are saying the same things!!! America, beware...with Obama, the entire nation is now in lethal, harm’s way...put there by a totally incompetent POTUS and leader!!! Time to remove Obama from office, by resignation or impeachment. Get on with it Democrat Party!!!
Maybe the Orion pilot was just trying to order dinner...
You know times are tough in China when they can’t raise enough money to bribe a Democrat President.
Bribe, hell!
King Putt works for them for free.
The ignorant piece of shit.
“Yang said that the U.S. side should follow the principle of non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation, take concrete actions, reduce and finally stop close-in surveillance of China, so as to create a sound atmosphere for bilateral military ties.”
Sorry, Yang, the rest of the planet is “on the run” and we have pivoted to Asia. /s
The world knows we are a paper tiger thanks to Obama and the idiot voters.
We must be learning something they don’t want us to know ...
0bama is not incompetent. Please don't make that mistake. He is evil, willfully destructive, and bent on doing irreparable damage to these United States. In that effort, he has been remarkably successful.
Stop sending yer rice plicks to our various industries to spy on us....
Besides, we’re on to your “String of Pearls” strategy...
They want to use their recent intercept of one of our new P-8A aircraft as an example to cow Oama into this.
The U S was conducting surveillance and probably SIGINT on Chinese units and/or exercises on or near Hainan Island apparently.
If they were in international air space, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this.
The Chinese sent a J-11B fighter to intercept and, in essence, send a message.
There is also nothing wrong with that.
The US believes the Chinese aircraft hazarded the US aircraft, and are protesting it.
This is all pretty routine stuff when two powerful nations, with differences and large militaries interact. Anyone who lived through the cold war understands this.
Despite trade relations, other areas where we work together, and exercises we perform together, there are still areas where we differ, and there is still mistrust.
Missions like this are not risk free. Never have been. When you are trying to learn capabilities that the other nation wants to keep to themselves, these type of thing are going to happen.
Gratefully, despite some apparent aerobatics on the part of the Chinese pilot, no one was injured.
Pictures fom the P-8A:
Americans buying everything imported from China, will bring the eventual destruction of America.
Bring back manufacturing to America. Make stuff right here in the United States.
Stop buying everything, constructed in, and imported from China.
Someone please stand up for America.
Yep.
And thank-you for your service, Sergeant Major.
I agree. Everything Clown Prince nobama and his minions do is intentional...everything. He is being successful at “transforming” the US. He should be arrested and imprisoned for his many, many crimes...then exiled. Those who voted for him are uninformed degenerates and have much of the blame for this terrible transformation.
China know to US has no Government
I agree......when I say incompetent or leaderless...I mean “Traitor”!!! Obama is with our enemies...make no mistake about it!!! And...yes he has been quite successful in trying to destroy the USA with the help of the liberal, left-wing, Democrat Media and Democrat Party who also hate America!!! But...who is really to blame ....the American people. They are all getting just what they voted for...Muslim Brotherhood/ISIS/Obama, “Hope & Change”!!!
