A U.S. military plane involved in a confrontation with Chinese aircraft in disputed southern waters last week had violated international law and put the safety of Chinese pilots at risk, a defense ministry spokesman said.
The U.S. military said on Thursday that a Chinese Navy J-11 fighter jet had come within 10 feet (3 meters) of a U.S. air force RC-135 aircraft on Dec 21, forcing it to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision.
