China bristles at ‘irresponsible’ U.S. flight near disputed islands ~ Asia Post

China bristles at ‘irresponsible’ U.S. flight near disputed islands, BEIJING — China accused the United States on Friday of “very irresponsible” and potentially dangerous actions after a U.S. surveillance plane flew near disputed islands in the South China Sea and was warned off by the Chinese navy this week. On Wednesday, a P-8A Poseidon aircraft passed near the disputed Spratly Islands and viewed huge Chinese land-reclamation operations in the vicinity. The plane was told to leave eight times by the Chinese navy, according to a CNN team aboard the plane. “It is very irresponsible and also very dangerous,” he said at a routine news conference Friday. “It undermines regional peace and security. China expresses strong dissatisfaction.” Experts said China appears to be trying to create a military exclusion zone around the islands, a move that could heighten regional tensions. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said the U.S. plane’s flight represented “a potential threat to the security of the Chinese island and reef,” adding that such actions could easily lead to an accident. “It is very irresponsible and also very dangerous,” he said at a routine news conference Friday. “It undermines regional peace and security. China expresses strong dissatisfaction.” Chinese dredging vessels are purportedly seen in the waters around the Spratly Islands. (U.S. Navy/via Reuters) After each warning, the U.S. pilots responded that the P-8A was flying through international airspace, according to the CNN team. The Philippines says similar warnings have been delivered to its military aircraft in the past three months, suggesting that China is trying to exclude foreign military planes from the area. China claims sovereignty over more than 80 percent of the South China Sea. Rival claimants to islands and reefs in the area — set amid fertile fishing grounds and potentially oil- and gas-rich waters — include the Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei. In the Spratly Islands, China has been engaged in an extensive program of land reclamation and construction, including building artificial islands. When the U.S. plane approached the area this week, it was told to leave. “Foreign military aircraft. This is Chinese navy. You are approaching our military alert zone. Leave immediately,” a radio operator reportedly told the aircraft, later bluntly instructing: “Go, go.” Hong urged the United States to refrain from risky and provocative actions. “The Chinese side will keep a close watch on the situation in relevant waters and airspace and take proper and necessary measures accordingly, so as to guard against any harm to the security of China’s maritime features, as well as sea and air accidents,” he said. In a commentary published Friday, the official Xinhua News Agency accused the United States of “senseless meddling” in China’s territorial disputes with other nations.“Now, China has the initiative, and as long as China can finish the construction, this round of intervention by the U.S. will end up futile,” the paper said. Beijing’s policies in the South China Sea, it said, would ultimately safeguard regional security and could establish the Spratly Islands as a “navigation and fishing hub.” “We will continue to fly in international airspace,” he said in Washington. The state-owned tabloid Global Times said the United States was trying to contain China and “sensationalize” the issue in a bid to apply pressure on Beijing. It argued that neither side wanted a showdown and that “hard-liners in the Pentagon” would soon realize they could not stand in China’s way.On Thursday, a Pentagon spokesman, Col. Steve Warren, said that “freedom of navigation operations” would continue in the South China Sea, but he insisted that U.S. military aircraft do not fly directly over areas claimed by China in the Spratly Islands.Běijīng - zhōngguó pī zhǐ “hěn bù fù zérèn”, bìng yǒu qiánzài wéixiǎn de xíngdòng, měiguó shàng zhōu wǔ zhīhòu, měiguó zhēnchá jī fēi jìn yǒu zhēngyì de dǎoyǔ zài zhōngguó nánhǎi, bìng zài běn zhōu bèi jǐnggàoguò zhōngguó hǎijūn.

BEIJING — China accused the United States on Friday of “very irresponsible” and potentially dangerous actions after a U.S. surveillance plane flew near disputed islands in the South China Sea and was warned off by the Chinese navy this week.

On Wednesday, a P-8A Poseidon aircraft passed near the disputed Spratly Islands and viewed huge Chinese land-reclamation operations in the vicinity. The plane was told to leave eight times by the Chinese navy, according to a CNN team aboard the plane.

“It is very irresponsible and also very dangerous,” he said at a routine news conference Friday. “It undermines regional peace and security. China expresses strong dissatisfaction.”

Experts said China appears to be trying to create a military exclusion zone around the islands, a move that could heighten regional tensions.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said the U.S. plane’s flight represented “a potential threat to the security of the Chinese island and reef,” adding that such actions could easily lead to an accident.

“It is very irresponsible and also very dangerous,” he said at a routine news conference Friday. “It undermines regional peace and security. China expresses strong dissatisfaction.”

After each warning, the U.S. pilots responded that the P-8A was flying through international airspace, according to the CNN team.

The Philippines says similar warnings have been delivered to its military aircraft in the past three months, suggesting that China is trying to exclude foreign military planes from the area.

China claims sovereignty over more than 80 percent of the South China Sea. Rival claimants to islands and reefs in the area — set amid fertile fishing grounds and potentially oil- and gas-rich waters — include the Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei.

In the Spratly Islands, China has been engaged in an extensive program of land reclamation and construction, including building artificial islands. When the U.S. plane approached the area this week, it was told to leave.

“Foreign military aircraft. This is Chinese navy. You are approaching our military alert zone. Leave immediately,” a radio operator reportedly told the aircraft, later bluntly instructing: “Go, go.”

Hong urged the United States to refrain from risky and provocative actions. “The Chinese side will keep a close watch on the situation in relevant waters and airspace and take proper and necessary measures accordingly, so as to guard against any harm to the security of China’s maritime features, as well as sea and air accidents,” he said.

In a commentary published Friday, the official Xinhua News Agency accused the United States of “senseless meddling” in China’s territorial disputes with other nations.“Now, China has the initiative, and as long as China can finish the construction, this round of intervention by the U.S. will end up futile,” the paper said. Beijing’s policies in the South China Sea, it said, would ultimately safeguard regional security and could establish the Spratly Islands as a “navigation and fishing hub.”

“We will continue to fly in international airspace,” he said in Washington.

The state-owned tabloid Global Times said the United States was trying to contain China and “sensationalize” the issue in a bid to apply pressure on Beijing. It argued that neither side wanted a showdown and that “hard-liners in the Pentagon” would soon realize they could not stand in China’s way.On Thursday, a Pentagon spokesman, Col. Steve Warren, said that “freedom of navigation operations” would continue in the South China Sea, but he insisted that U.S. military aircraft do not fly directly over areas claimed by China in the Spratly Islands.
