U.S., Chinese officials to meet at Pentagon after jet intercept

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. and Chinese military officials will hold talks on rules of behaviour at the Pentagon on Tuesday and Wednesday, a U.S. official said, days after the United States denounced a "dangerous" Chinese jet intercept of a U.S. Navy patrol plane.

Last Tuesday, a Chinese fighter pilot flew acrobatic manoeuvres around the U.S. Navy's P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine and reconnaissance plane, crossing over and under it in international airspace over the South China Sea, the Pentagon said.
