During the Spring Festival, U.S. military aircraft once faced off with Chinese PLA aircraft
United Morning Post reported today: "On Friday (February 20), multiple South Korean military sources revealed that during the training of U.S. forces stationed in South Korea in the airspace over the Yellow Sea, they once faced off with PLA aircraft, but no conflict occurred."
The Yonhap News Agency cited South Korean military sources reporting that on Wednesday (the 18th), more than 10 F-16 fighter jets under the U.S. forces stationed in South Korea conducted individual training, and as the U.S. aircraft approached China's Air Defense Identification Zone, the PLA also dispatched aircraft, leading to a standoff between the two sides.
Comment: The Spring Festival is a time for countries in the region to jointly celebrate peace. However, the U.S. deliberately sent more than ten aircraft to approach China's Air Defense Identification Zone in the Yellow Sea, directly causing a confrontation between U.S. and Chinese military aircraft. This is clearly not normal training, but rather deliberate provocation and creating tension. The PLA's response is a proper and legal action to safeguard national sovereignty and security.
The U.S. traveling all the way to the doorstep of the Asia-Pacific to show its presence and incite division is the real source of regional instability. Such behavior is both inappropriate and very dangerous.
