00:00 The United States military says a Chinese jet came dangerously close to a U.S. bomber
00:06 earlier this week over the South China Sea, part of what Washington has said is increasingly
00:10 risky behavior by Chinese military aircraft.
00:14 The U.S. military says a Chinese J-11 jet came within three meters of its B-52 aircraft
00:19 on Tuesday, October 24.
00:22 Earlier this month, the Pentagon said Chinese military aircraft have carried out maneuvers
00:26 close to U.S. aircraft nearly 200 times since 2021.
00:31 China's defense ministry earlier said the Pentagon accusing its military of risky and
00:35 coercive aerial intercepts was a premeditated smear on China with ulterior political motives.
00:41 Relations between China and the United States have been tense, over everything from Taiwan
00:45 and China's human rights record to its military activity in the South China Sea.
