If you want to argue the case like that, then sure, if America does not exist then the whole scenario would have been avoided too.
Fact is no one knows for sure who collided on who despite the Chinese pilots lost of life.
America was how many miles off the America coast? it was not a civilian craft nor was it a passenger plane used for civil purposes. It was a "Spy plane". If a spy plane was 60 odd miles off the American coast you too would have scrambled jets to deal with it. If the say it resulted in a crash and lost of American lives then they too would place the blame on China.
The intention was spying or not? Are you kidding me? That was a spy plane alright. You don't fly those planes so close to ones country without informing them if they were not there to spy.
If China's action was indeed as you labeled it "shooting down American plane over international waters" America would have responded militarily right? They didn't because they were caught red handed for spying or at least, due to the type of craft EP3 is, the intentions was clearly there. China could care less if they were scanning off the Japanese or Korean coast, but they were operating just outside China's. Many miles from Japan, Korea let alone off America's west coast.
Trust the US would not stop, look at the reaction of the world when the Edward Snowden crisis broke out? Did the US apologise for it? Does it stop the US from further spying? because they did not apologise and the issue dies down over time, does it mean the world thinks it is alright for the US to continue spying and tapping on world leader's phones? Spying is spying, you don't get to walk clean out once caught.
1.) you started to argue with that logic first, not mine, I can go in 24 post with you but I will spare the viewer of it
2.) so, by your logic, if an American plane of whatever origin crashed with a Chinese plane in international water near Chinese coast, then it would be an American fault since it was too far away from US? Lol.
3.) again, key point is international airspace, I am not saying the plane is not conducting spying activities, I am saying whatever it does, you do not have to right to ram him in international airspace, seems to me Chinese don't really care, as long as its a military flight near Chinese border, even in international airspace, they have right to do whatever it does to interference the flight.
Lol and claiming you don't know whose fault is it in this incident is like you are claiming you don't know whose fault is it when a Ferrari crashed into a 18 wheel truck and you blame the 18 wheel for not able to move away lol
4.) lol if we caught red handed spying on Chinese soil, should you be execute those airman for spying instead of release it back to US?
The answer is one of the same dude
5.) as I said many time, what snowden told the world is nothing the world had not already know. By the way, how do you know snowden is telling the truth? Just because he said so?
As I said, it is not the spying that cause the tension, you know we were spying, that was a regular "spy" flight, RP-3 is a spy plane, what do you expect when you see them in your doorstep, the fact remain, the flight is on INTERNATIONAL WATER, even if that was a flight of F-14, china cannot not have the right to hinder the flight of a sovereign nations conducting in international airspace, to claim it was spying, regardless if they were, still do not gave the right to Chinese to down it.
The crisis, has and always had been why the 2 plane crashed, hence the crash is the lead clause of the crisis, not spying
