It called the Chinese move an &#8221; unnecessarily aggressive maneuver.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. defense leaders have complained that China\u2019s military has become significantly more aggressive over the past five years, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/air\/2022\/12\/29\/dangerously-close-video-shows-chinese-jet-buzzing-us-spy-plane\/\" target=\"_blank\">intercepting U.S. aircraft<\/a> and ships in the region. And tensions with China have only grown in recent months over Washington\u2019s military support and sales of defensive weapons to self-governing Taiwan, China\u2019s assertions of sovereignty to the contested South China Sea and its flying of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/02\/22\/heres-your-first-look-at-that-chinese-spy-balloon\/\" target=\"_blank\">suspected spy balloon<\/a> over the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4860\" height=\"2734\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23150794072168.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"In this image from video provided by the U.S. Navy, a Chinese J-16 fighter flies aggressively close to a U.S. RC-135 aircraft flying in international airspace over the South China Sea on Friday, May 26, 2023.\" class=\"wp-image-106162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23150794072168.jpg.jpg 4860w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23150794072168.jpg.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23150794072168.jpg.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23150794072168.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23150794072168.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23150794072168.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1152 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4860px) 100vw, 4860px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In this image from video provided by the U.S. Navy, a Chinese J-16 fighter flies aggressively close to a U.S. RC-135 aircraft flying in international airspace over the South China Sea on Friday, May 26, 2023. (U.S. Navy via AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a further sign of the tensions, China said its defense chief <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/china-us-military-taiwan-balloon-singapore-e78f67d3d590294a2e4a351e6430e6ec\" target=\"_blank\">will not meet<\/a> with U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin when the two men attend a security conference in Singapore this coming weekend. Austin is scheduled to address the Shangri-La Dialogue on Saturday, while Chinese Defense Minister Gen. Li Shangfu will speak at the gathering on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, said China informed the U.S. that it was declining Austin\u2019s invitation to meet while they were at the conference. He said Beijing\u2019s \u201cconcerning unwillingness to engage in meaningful military-to-military discussions\u201d will not diminish the Defense Department\u2019s commitment to seeking open lines of communication with the Chinese army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning on Tuesday blamed the U.S., saying Washington should \u201cearnestly respect China\u2019s sovereignty and security interests and concerns, immediately correct the wrongdoing, show sincerity, and create the necessary atmosphere and conditions for dialogue and communication between the two militaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/china\/2022\/07\/24\/china-more-aggressive-dangerous-to-us-milley-says\/\" target=\"_blank\">visit to the Indo-Pacific<\/a> last summer, U.S. Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the number of intercepts by Chinese aircraft and ships in the Pacific region with U.S. and other partner forces has increased significantly over that time, and the number of unsafe interactions has risen by similar proportions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China frequently challenges military aircraft from the U.S. and its allies, especially over the strategically vital South China Sea, which China claims in its entirety. Such behavior led to a 2001 in-air collision in which a Chinese plane was lost and pilot killed. Beijing deeply resents the presence of U.S. military assets in that region, and regularly demands that American ships and planes leave the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the statement Tuesday, the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said America will continue to \u201cfly, sail, and operate \u2014 safely and responsibly \u2014 wherever international law allows,\u201d and expects all other countries to do the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. military says a Chinese fighter jet flew aggressively close to a U.S. reconnaissance aircraft over the South China Sea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":8,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[100,8,23,93,12,25],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1334],"class_list":["post-77580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-flashpoints","category-home","category-middle-column","category-news","category-newsletters"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"6XCBJ6SOM5EJVL5KJSRH35Z424","arc_canonical_url":"\/flashpoints\/china\/2023\/05\/30\/video-shows-chinese-fighter-jet-flying-close-to-us-aircraft\/","remove_feature_photo":true,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Video shows Chinese fighter jet flying close to US aircraft - Army Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The U.S. military says a Chinese fighter jet flew aggressively close to a U.S. reconnaissance aircraft over the South China Sea.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Video shows Chinese fighter jet flying close to US aircraft\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The U.S. military says a Chinese fighter jet flew aggressively close to a U.S. reconnaissance aircraft over the South China Sea.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/flashpoints\/2023\/05\/30\/video-shows-chinese-fighter-jet-flying-close-to-us-aircraft\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Army Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-05-30T23:33:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T15:06:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Lolita C.
