"Only 3 meters distance", the American and Chinese planes are in

An American plane and a Chinese one risked colliding, only for a distance of 3 meters. According to the US military, the open-air incident occurred on Tuesday in the South China Sea.

"The Chinese pilot flew in an unsafe and unprofessional manner, showed pilot incompetence by approaching our aircraft at high speed and came within 3 meters of our B-52 aircraft, risking a collision. We are concerned that this pilot did not even realize how close we were to the collision," the US Indo-Pacific Command said in a statement.

Chinese warplane confronts US navy, CNN witnesses tensions in South China Sea The incident comes as President Biden will host Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the White House on Friday.

It is not clear whether the meeting will be a formal discussion or a more informal meet and greet. Wang is also expected to meet with Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday and national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Friday.

Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping may also meet on the sidelines of the APEC Summit in San Francisco next month, although neither side has confirmed finalized plans. The United States and China released footage Thursday accusing each other of provocative maneuvers in and around the South China Sea, escalating tensions over the disputed waterway.

China's Ministry of Defense released a video during a regular press conference, saying the USS Ralph Johnson "conducted provocative close maneuvers" against a Chinese navy task group conducting routine exercises in the South China Sea on August 19.

Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian said the video "shows that the US side is the real provocateur, risk-taker and disruptor". Wu said the US warship's actions "endanger China's national security" and added that China "will take all necessary measures to resolutely protect national sovereignty."

Meanwhile, the Pentagon's top official in charge of security in the Indo-Pacific, Ely Ratner, said earlier this month that the US has seen more cases of "coercive and dangerous" behavior by Chinese pilots against US aircraft in two years. last in the East and South China Seas than in the entire decade before that.

Efforts by the Pentagon this year to engage with the Chinese military leadership have gone unanswered, and US officials have grown increasingly concerned about the lack of military-to-military dialogue between the countries. Beijing cut off communications after then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan last year, angering Chinese leaders.

In 2022, the Chinese military increased its aggressive actions toward the island, including ballistic missile flights, military aircraft flying in Taiwan's air identification zone, and large-scale exercises near Taiwan. Although Xi has said he is seeking Taiwan's peaceful reunification with China, he has not ruled out using military force to achieve his goal.
