Actually, PRC assets do not monitor the U.S. Pacific Command in the number
or manner Ivan did. Very few (if any) air shadowing of CVBGs, let alone sub
or AGI activity off of U.S. bases in Okinawa, Guam or Hawaii. They do concentrate
on Taiwan, Vietnam, India, Koreas, Japan, Russia and their own dissidents,
though.

Ramming aircraft in international airspace

seems, well, clumsy of them.

From what I heard it wasn't actually 'ramming'.
Foolish airborne jousting perhaps
?


I would be interested to see the reaction

of the USA
to Chinese spy planes off its shores !


They use "fishing" boats, instead.


In international waters no doubt ?

Somewhat less effective though.

Don't ever forget that what's sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander too.
