A Chinese fighter jet conducted an “unnecessarily aggressive maneuver” during an intercept of a US spy plane in international airspace over the South China Sea last week, the US military said in a statement Tuesday.
It's all posturing between China and US, both militaries just waving multi billion dollar aircraft in each others' faces.
Gotta love China's diplomatic commentary:
China’s Defense Ministry on Wednesday pushed back on such characterizations [of avoiding communication], saying the country “attaches importance” to developing US-China military relations and there had been “no interruption” in contact, while also blaming Washington for hampering communication.
