Beijing blamed US "provocation" Wednesday for an incident last week when a Chinese plane crossed in front of an American surveillance aircraft over the South China Sea.

A People's Republic of China J-16 fighter jet performed"an unnecessarily aggressive maneuver" in front of a US Air Force RC-135 aircraft over the South China Sea on May 26, 2023, the US Indo-Pacific Command said.

"China will continue to take all necessary steps to resolutely protect its own sovereignty and security," she said. Video footage declassified and released by the US military shows a Chinese fighter plane crossing in front of the American aircraft, which can be seen shaking from the resulting turbulence.
