US flying a record number of spy planes over South China Sea shows who the real threat is!

Bloomberg: The US military flew a record 94 sorties over the South China Sea in November, a Chinese think tank says. Some of the flights came to as close as 16 nautical miles from China’s territorial waters. What signal does it send of the tension between China and the US? Zhao Lijian: I have noted the report. I want to stress that the US has frequently sent reconnaissance aircraft to conduct close-in reconnaissance near China’s coastal waters, which seriously threatens and undermines China’s national security. Relevant acts deliberately create tensions in the air and at sea and heighten the risk of regional conflicts. China deplores and firmly opposes them. Facts have repeatedly proven that the US is the biggest threat to regional peace and stability. The US should immediately stop such close-in reconnaissance and provocative acts. China will continue to firmly safeguard its sovereignty and security interests and uphold regional peace and stability.
