US military slams Chinese flights over South China Sea but says they posed no threat


WASHINGTON, Jan 30 (Reuters): The US military has announced that that Chinese military flights in the past week in the South China Sea fit a pattern of destabilising and aggressive behavior by Beijing but posed no threat to a US Navy aircraft carrier strike group in the region.

"The Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group closely monitored all People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) and Air Force (PLAAF) activity, and at no time did they pose a threat to US Navy ships, aircraft, or sailors," the U.S. military's Pacific Command said in a statement.
