BEIJING (China Daily/Asia News Network): The Chinese military strongly protests a high-altitude US spy plane trespassing into the no-fly zone that is currently hosting a live ammunition drill by the People's Liberation Army Northern Theater Command, Senior Colonel Wu Qian, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence, said in a statement on Tuesday (Aug 25).
On Tuesday, a Lockheed U-2 high altitude reconnaissance aircraft trespassed into the no-fly zone, and "seriously disrupted China's routine training activities," Wu said, adding the manoeuvre also seriously violated China-US maritime and flight safety codes and international norms.
