In a concerning development, a Chinese fighter jet executed a highly aggressive
maneuver near a US military plane over the South China Sea, prompting the US to
denounce the act. The incident, which
occurred last week, compelled the US aircraft to navigate through turbulent wake
caused by the Chinese J-16.
While the US reiterated its commitment to operating in international
airspace, China criticized the US for its close-in reconnaissance activities,
emphasizing the need for the US to cease provocative actions.
With China's refusal to engage in dialogue, and the recent surge in dangerous
encounters, the strained relations between the two superpowers show no signs of
easing, exacerbating the already tense situation between them on multiple
fronts. |
