BEIJING, Nov. 26 -- A US P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft flew through the Taiwan Strait on November 26 and hyped it up publicly. Senior Colonel Cao Jun, spokesperson for the air force under the Chinese PLA Eastern Theater Command, slammed this provocative move in a written statement released on Tuesday.
The spokesperson said that the Chinese PLA Eastern Theater Command had organized its naval and air forces to follow, monitor and deal with the trespassing US aircraft effectively.
"The US's remarks distorted the legal fact, confused the public and misled the international perception. We urge the US side to stop distorting and hyping up, and safeguard regional peace and stability," stressed the spokesperson.
东部战区空军新闻发言人曹骏大校表示，11月26日，美军1架P-8A反潜巡逻机过航台湾海峡并公开炒作。中国人民解放军东部战区组织海空兵力对美机过航行动全程跟监警戒，有效应对处置。美有关言论曲解法理、混淆视听，误导国际认知。我们正告美方停止歪曲炒作，共同维护地区和平稳定。
