Above the South China Sea (CNN)The Chinese navy issued warnings eight times as a U.S. surveillance plane on Wednesday swooped over islands that Beijing is using to extend its zone of influence.
Seeking to further challenge China's military build-up in the South China Sea, the plane conducted a reconnaissance mission over a contested military installation being constructed on a manmade series of islands.
A CNN team was given exclusive access to fly onboard the P8-A Poseidon, America's most advanced surveillance and submarine-hunting aircraft, as it flew over the islands.

The U.S. is considering flying such surveillance missions even closer over the islands and sailing U.S. warships within miles of them as part of a new, more robust U.S. military response to make clear the U.S. does not recognize China's territorial claims.
This is the first time the U.S. has allowed journalists on board an operational mission of the P8 over the contested waters, and the first time it has declassified video of China's building activity and audio of Chinese challenges of a U.S. aircraft.
In response to the American surveillance presence, a voice in English could be heard crackling through the radio of the aircraft in which CNN was present.
"This is the Chinese navy ... This is the Chinese navy ... Please go away ... to avoid misunderstanding," said a voice in English.

We should land the plane somewhere in China and hand them the keys Like Shane Osborne did. It’s only fair. (Sarcasm)
“Please go away... or we will stop making all your rubber novelty vomit, lead-painted toys, and poison pet food for Wal*mart”.
“Please go away... or we will stop using slave labor to manufacture your I-PHONES!”
Truly diverse group
This is stupid. Obama will end up creating an incident over a bunch of islands that are largely irrelevant to US interests.
(And China does after all have a claim to those islands.)
We will end up with another shot-down plane, a zillion Chinese in the streets demonstrating against us, and a closer Russo-Chinese relationship.
“In just two years, China has expanded these islands by 2,000 acres — the equivalent of 1,500 football fields — and counting, an engineering marvel in waters as deep as 300 feet.”
Threat Matrix ping
Two years!-—Obama has a penchant for responding to a foreign policy matter after the cows are out of the barn.
Why? rhetorical question...

If we are going to challenge the Chinese and Russians, we better do it in masse, and not in the manner we are doing it right now.
Isn’t that photo showing the Chinese equivalent of the finger?
That would be a Super WAL*MART as opposed to a Regular WAL-MART.
Now China begins to enforce it’s 12 mile territorial limit.
How soon until it begins the 200 mile economic exclusion zone?
And none of the other nations with a claim in the Spratleys can do a damn thing about it.
cry baby.
IIRC They bought Long Beach Harbour ?
More free trade /sarc
I would think this happens every day. Is it news because CNN was there?
