China urges US to stop carrying out close reconnaissance flights that seriously undermine China’s maritime security, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hong Lei said during a briefing.
Earlier, CNN, citing Pentagon sources, reported that an RC-135 USAF reconnaissance plane was intercepted by a Chinese J-10 fighter jet in international airspace over the East China Sea.
No incident occurred but the US military called the Chinese pilot’s maneuvers “hazardous”.
>However, China’s Defense Ministry negated such statements saying, “The US is deliberately speculating again on the question of reconnaissance flights by American military aircraft near China,” the Ministry of Defense reported to Chinese newspaper Huantsu Shibao.
