/ world today news/ On May 26, during a routine exercise of the 17th Fleet of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) in the South China Sea, an RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft of the US Air Force purposefully entered the training area. In response, a Chinese Air Force aircraft was sent to track and conduct professional surveillance of the US machine in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, said Colonel Zhang Nandong, spokesman for the Southern Military Zone Command of the PLA.
The actions of the US are seriously undermining peace and stability in the South China Sea region, and the information in the US media that the Chinese aircraft carried out an “unnecessarily dangerous maneuver” is an absolute disregard for the facts and an attempt to mislead international public opinion, he stressed.
“We urge the U.S. most strongly to limit the actions of its naval and air forces in areas of contact, strictly comply with relevant international laws and agreements, and work to prevent incidents at sea and in the air.” Otherwise, the US must bear all the consequences arising from its behavior,” Zhang Nandong added.
