The increasingly aggressive and assertive maneuvers by China’s military, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), is a “major problem,” according to a top Pentagon official.
His comments, which he made Thursday at a Center for a New American Security conference, came in the aftermath of two similar incidents in recent weeks, one of which was an aerial intercept, while the other was a naval one in the Taiwan Strait.
The Pentagon released footage of both incidents, which showed Chinese aggression. In the aerial intercept, a Chinese aircraft was shown flying in front of an Air Force RC-135,. In the second incident, a Chinese naval ship twice sailed in the way of U.S. and Canadian naval ships the U.S. said were operating within international law.
“A U.S. naval ship operating with, in this instance, Canada, an ally in accordance with international law, and it was a very dangerous maneuver by the PLA Navy,” Ratner explained. “That's not two ships almost colliding. That's one ship almost colliding with another operating in accordance with international law.“
