BEIJING, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Defense Ministry here on Saturday urged the U.S. side to stop close-in surveillance of China, and create a sound atmosphere for bilateral military ties.

The ministry spokesman Yang Yujun said in a statement that one U.S. anti-submarine plane and one patrol aircraft flew to an airspace about 220 kilometers east of China's Hainan Island to conduct close-in surveillance Tuesday morning, and then a Chinese fighter jet took off to make regular identification and verification.

China urged the U.S. side to abide by international law and international practice, respect concerns of the coastal countries, and properly deal with the differences between the two sides on air and marine security issues, he said.

Yang said that the U.S. side should follow the principle of non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation, take concrete actions, reduce and finally stop close-in surveillance of China, so as to create a sound atmosphere for bilateral military ties.

Funny PRC want US to respect others border and costal borders - all the time PRC itself are not excactly doing it - when they try to bully their opponents around it to do as PRC want - who is to dominate most of the sea area around it -including Japan - who also have a rather bloody history with PRC back in the days - who PRC have never forgotten - and want revange for...

And it is also interesting that PRC want US to abide by international law and practice - as PRC all the time act in a way who is far from abiding from international law and practice - in fact they try and do steal a lot of information form all over the place - including Pentagon when they are able to do it..

And the fighter jet looked more like the J-15 than SU27 - who is the PCR knockoff of the SU 27 who they replicated - and was able to build from scratch - mutch to Sukhoi's anger - not to say treathing of never let PRC get another aircraft from Sukhoi again...

5. Most countries at some point are big into hypocrisy.

Some feel okay pointing this out. Some don't.

My response would be annoying if I were making a public response. I would point out that the Chinese representative is being hypocritical, and that this is shameful and brings dishonor and distrust to himself, and shame to his family. I would add that I find it difficult to believe that he is speaking on behalf of a great and honorable nation while saying such shameful things, because if he *were* speaking in his official capacity he would be disgracing his country, as did the pilot. They should honor the agreements that they have signed, instead of trying to bully and intimidate others for no reason than they believe that they are superior to them.

3. Maybe when China stops stealing our technology, hacking into our

national defense computers, etc, then we can talk about it, until then, go fuck yourselves China.

4. 220km is 136 miles.

That is flying over international waters. I did that job in the military back in the late 60's. We flew 40 miles off of the coast of China and about the same in the gulf of Tonkin, off of Hainan. Fuck China.
