US China Conflict: China is not desisting from its actions, in such a situation the tension between America and Beijing has increased once again. In fact, America has claimed that China wrongly tried to stop the US Air Force’s B-52 aircraft carrying out routine operations in the South China Sea. Due to which there was a danger of planes colliding with each other.
The US Indo-Pacific Command said in its statement that the pilot of the Chinese J-11 jet tried to wrongly intercept the US Air Force aircraft on the night of October 24. According to the statement, the Chinese pilot did this deliberately, due to which the distance between the two planes at one time was only 10 feet, which is a very bad situation. US Indo-Pacific Command has shared a video on its official social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
US Army released video
In the video released by the US Army, the Chinese jet is shown passing in front and below the wing of the American jet. It said that the pilot of the Chinese jet took the risk of a collision between the two planes. US Indo-Pacific Command said, “We are concerned that this pilot was unaware of how close he came to collision.”
China should follow international air safety rules
The US military said, “Visibility was very limited at the time and this action is contrary to international air safety rules.” America says that if their pilot had not saved the plane in time, a major accident could have occurred. Along with this, America has also warned China.
