Balco Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 "Foreign military aircraft, this is Chinese navy. You are approaching our military alert zone. Leave immediately," the dispatcher said on the recording. After the American crew responded that it was flying over international waters, the Chinese dispatcher responded "This is the Chinese navy ... You go!" The incident was the latest example of friction between Washington and Beijing, with China seeking to assert its expansive claims to the South China Sea and the U.S. pushing back and attempting *to demonstrate that China's massive land reclamation does not give it territorial rights. Daniel Russel, the top U.S. diplomat for East Asia, said the flight of a U.S. reconnaissance plane in international airspace over the South China Sea was a regular and appropriate occurrence. He said the U.S. will seek to preserve the ability of not just the United States but all countries to exercise their rights to freedom of navigation and overflight. "Nobody in their right mind is going to try to stop the U.S. Navy from operating. That would not be a good step. But it's not enough that a U.S. military plane can overfly international waters, even if there is a challenge or a hail and query" from the Chinese military. Tensions heating boys. Are we on the brink of World War 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 USA just being belligerent as usual. China built these islands from nothing so yeah they do own them. USA should consider themselves lucky China has not sunk any ships or blown any spy planes out of the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balco Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 China took over some islands that didn't belong to them. China claims virtually the entire South China Sea as its own, along with its scattered island groups. The area that is home to some of the world's busiest commercial shipping routes is also claimed in part or in whole by the Philippines, Taiwan, Brunei, Malaysia and Vietnam.
