BRIEFING

'Keep out!': China sent 6 warnings to a US Navy plane, but the US didn't back down

RYAN PICKRELL

AUG 10, 2018, 9:41 PM

NAVAIR US NavyA US Navy P-8A Poseidon reconnaissance plane.

China sent six warnings to a US Navy plane operating in the South China Sea on Friday, ordering the American crew to “leave immediately and keep out.”The US Navy aircraft stayed the course, insisting that it was within its legal rights.The incident followed a report from the Philippine government revealing that China had been sending out threatening radio queries to foreign ships and planes at an increased frequency.

Chinese forces deployed to the hotly contested South China Sea ordered a US Navy reconnaissance aircraft to “leave immediately” six times Friday, but the pilot stayed the course, refusing to back down.

A US Navy P-8A Poseidon reconnaissance plane flew past China’s garrisons in the Spratly Islands, giving CNN reporters aboard the aircraft a view of Chinese militarization in the region.

Flying over Chinese strongholds on Mischief Reef, Johnson Reef, Fiery Cross Reef, and Subi Reef, CNN spotted “large radar installations, power plants, and runways sturdy enough to carry large military aircraft.” At one outpost, onboard sensors detected 86 vessels, including Chinese Coast Guard ships, which China has been known to use to strong-arm countries with competing claims in the South China Sea.

Lt. Lauren Callen, who led the US Navy crew, said it was “surprising to see airports in the middle of the ocean.”

The Chinese stationed in the area were not exactly kind hosts to the uninvited guests.

Warning the aircraft that it was in Chinese territory – an argument an international arbitration tribunal ruled against two years ago – the Chinese military ordered the US Navy plane to “leave immediately and keep out to avoid any misunderstanding.”

Six warnings were issued, accordingto CNN, and the US Navy responded the same every time.

“I am a sovereign immune US naval aircraft conducting lawful military activities beyond the national airspace of any coastal state,” the crew replied, adding, “In exercising these rights guaranteed by international law, I am operating with due regard for the rights and duties of all states.”

I just wish somebody would hit a button and get this party started. The sooner its over the sooner we can take care of other problems and if China needs to lower the male demographic over the long term, well, I'm quite sure America can provide assistance with this strategic problem. If America needs a more rapid depreciation of some older air craft carriers and China has the actual capability to help, well America can ramp up production of bigger and better replacement cost equipment, sounds like a win,win. pass the popcorn. The emperor recently chastised military officers for running side businesses, perhaps because there pay is a little low. If you piss off the military, trade, tariffs, currency problems, and slowing urbanization, it could make a desperate man trying to maintain power start a party that may need a lot more than popcorn to fix.

Good.  Let's get it on!  WWIII would be good for the world imo.  WWII was good for the US.  Maybe not so good for the losers,,,,,  mainland Europe, Japan, assorted folks caught in the fall-out...

someone has to stop SCS xpansion... It's nonsense,,, but dangerous nonsense if they wanna control shipping thru there.  Like Iran trying to control Straits of Hormuz.

shipping from India, the future factory of the world will change shipping routes all over again anyway making the South China Sea ancient history and if the global warming fairytale happens, we can use the Arctic Ocean as a shipping route saving lots of fossil fuels and distance, Ironically, the environmentalist might get fossil fuel usage cut substantially by there own theory.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change student visa to labourer one is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
