Washington: Two Chinese fighter jets passed dangerously close to an American spy plane in international airspace over the Yellow Sea, a US official said Tuesday.


News of the close encounter came as Chinese President Xi Jinping began a state visit to the United States.

The incident occurred September 15 when the Chinese planes intercepted an American RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft and crossed directly in front of it, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook declined to give specifics about what happened but confirmed an incident had taken place.

"The pilot reported that he felt like the aircraft passed in front of his nose in an unsafe fashion," Cook told reporters.

I am talking about the United States Naval vessels in the region.


A U.S. RC-135 aircraft operating above the Yellow Sea, approximately 80 miles east of the Shandong Peninsula, reported the September 15 incident after the Chinese jet passed in front of the RC-135, Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook told reporters.

"One of the maneuvers conducted by the Chinese aircraft during this intercept was perceived as unsafe by the RC-135 air crew and at this point, right now, there's no indication this was a near collision, but the report that came back was that the plane operated in an unsafe fashion," Cook said.

Beijing: China and the US have reached an agreement on a code of safe conduct on naval and air force encounters, the Chinese Defence Ministry said today, calling the deal a move to mark new progress in building 'mutual trust mechanisms'.


The signing of the deal coincides with Chinese President Xi Jinping's maiden visit to the US to bring down rising tensions between the two countries over the disputed South China Sea.

Xi will hold talks with US President Barack Obama tomorrow to improve relations between the two countries.

The two countries have signed annexes?respectively about "notification of military crisis" and "encounters in the air" on major military operations and a code of safe conduct on naval and air force encounters, on September 18, Chinese Defence Ministry spokesperson Wu Qian said.

"The move marks new progress in the building of the 'two mutual trust mechanisms'," said Wu Qian at a monthly press briefing.
Signing of the annexes will help increase strategic mutual trust between the two countries and avoid misunderstandings and accidents at sea and in the air, Wu said.

They also contribute to the two sides' aim to build a new type of relationship between major countries and a new type of Sino-US military relationship, he said.

The agreement was announced after two Chinese military aircraft intercepted an US Air Force surveillance plane on September 15 which Pentagon said potentially "unsafe".

"The department is reviewing a report from US (Pacific Command) regarding a September 15 intercept of a US. RC-135 by two JH-7 aircraft from the People's Republic of China," Pentagon spokesman Commander Bill Urban was quoted as saying in the media.

"One of the manoeuvres conducted by a PRC aircraft during the intercept was perceived as unsafe by the RC-135 aircrew. At this point there is no indication that there was a near collision," Urban said.

China alleged close surveillance by US aircraft specially in the disputed South China Sea.

Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan hotly contest China's claim over whole of South China Sea.

The US which backs the small countries in the region stepped up its presence in Asia Pacific area resulting in close encounters by its aircraft and naval ships.
