Two Chinese Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets came within 150 feet of a US Air Force WC-135 Constant Phoenix aircraft while it was flying in international airspace above the East China Sea on Wednesday, officials told CNN.

Officials told NBC News that the crew of the Constant Phoenix described the confrontation as “unprofessional.” The US crew said they were acting in full accordance with international law.

Officials reportedly did not address whether the Chinese maneuver was unsafe.

"The issue is being addressed with China through appropriate diplomatic and military channels," Air Force spokeswoman Lieutenant Colonel Lori Hodge told Reuters.

The four-engine WC-135, also known as a “nuke sniffer,” was based out of the Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue, Nebraska, according to KMTV.

The planes have been used in the past to collect evidence of nuclear tests conducted by North Korea, according to CNN.

In February, a Chinese KJ-200 aircraft came within 1,000 feet of a US Navy P-3 Orion aircraft over the China Sea. A spokesman for United States Pacific Command called that incident “unsafe,” according to DefenseNews.

(CNN)Two Chinese Su-30 fighter jets intercepted a US Air Force radiation detection plane over the East China Sea Wednesday, according to the US Pacific Air Forces.
The US crew aboard the US Air Force WC-135 characterized the move as "unprofessional," according to the statement from Air Force Lt. Col. Hodge.
"While we are still investigating the incident, initial reports from the U.S. aircrew characterized the intercept as unprofessional. The issue is being addressed with China through appropriate diplomatic and military channels," Hodge said.

Earlier, a US official told CNN the Chinese jets came within 150 feet of the US plane, with one of the Su-30s flying inverted, or upside down, directly above the American plane.
Dubbed the "Constant Phoenix," the four-engine WC-135 jet looks for distinctive elements a nuclear test of any type would emit into the air. The collected samples can be analyzed to determine exactly what occurred.
The WC-135 has been regularly deployed on routine missions in Northeast Asia, according to the US official. The planes have been used in the past to gather evidence of possible nuclear tests by North Korea.

After the February incident, US officials said close encounters between US and Chinese forces are extremely rare, with no such incidents in 2015 and two in

Chinese fighters buzz U.S. spy plane, underlining differences over surveillance, North Korea
By Simon Denyer May 19 at 1:21 PM

BEIJING — Two Chinese fighter jets buzzed a U.S. spy plane this week that sniffs out nuclear radiation as it flew over the seas between China and North Korea, underlining Beijing’s discomfort with American surveillance and differences in the countries’ approach to the threat posed by the regime in Pyongyang.

The incident, reported by the U.S. Air Force on Friday, comes as the two nations struggle to overcome discord over how to confront the nuclear and missile programs of North Korea, which depends on China as its main economic lifeline.

[North Korea showed off a lot of missiles. What might be their targets?]

The American plane, a WC-135 Constant Phoenix, collects samples from the air to detect nuclear explosions. The Air Force said it was on a routine mission in international airspace in the East China Sea, a broad expanse of ocean. But China’s Ministry of National Defense said the incident had occurred in the Yellow Sea, the name given to the northern part of the East China Sea that lies between China and the Korean Peninsula.

An American official told CNN that the plane has been regularly deployed in Northeast Asia to gather evidence of possible nuclear tests by North Korea.

The Chinese military has become increasingly unhappy with American surveillance in the East China and South China seas. Intercepts are not uncommon in both areas. But the latest incident appeared to have been an unusually tight encounter.

Two Chinese Su-30 fighters flew up close to an American WC-135 on Wednesday, the Air Force said in a statement. The American aircrew described the intercept as “unprofessional,” the statement said, based on the Chinese pilot’s maneuvers and the speeds and proximity involved.

[Is Trump ready for war in the South China Sea, or is his team just not being clear?]

“The issue is being addressed with China through appropriate diplomatic and military channels,” said Lt. Col. Lori Hodge, an Air Force spokeswoman. A U.S. military investigation into the intercept is underway, she added.

China’s defense ministry said the Air Force statement was not factually correct and that the China’s military planes had “recognized and checked on” the American plane as it conducted surveillance “in China’s Yellow Sea.”

“The relevant behavior was professional and safe,” China said in a statement published on its social media account.

“The root reason for military security issues between the air force and navy of China and the United States is that U.S., planes and ships frequently conduct surveillance near China’s territory,” the Chinese defense military said. “We hope the U.S. side can pause relevant surveillance activities, to prevent such things from happening.”

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying asked the United States to respect China’s national security concerns.

“As we said before, for a long time, the surveillance activities of U.S. military planes and ships near China’s territory are very likely to lead to misunderstanding, miscalculation and accidents on the sea or in the air,” she told reporters at anews conference.

Whether the close encounter was meant to send a signal to the Americans or was merely the action of overly zealous pilots is not clear, experts said.

The American official told CNN that the Chinese jets came within 150 feet of the U.S. plane, with one of the Su-30s flying inverted, or upside down, directly above the American plane.

“U.S. military aircraft routinely transit international airspace throughout the Pacific, including the East China Sea,” Hodge said. “This flight was no exception.”

China is also deeply unhappy about the deployment in South Korea of a U.S. missile defense system, which is meant to protect the country against attack from North Korea but which Beijing fears will also be used to spy on its territory.

[Why China is so mad about THAAD?]

Du Xiaojun, an expert in East Asian security at Guangxi University for Nationalities, said the incident Wednesday highlighted the “security dilemma” between China and the United States.

“The United States, Japan and South Korea always say their moves are targeting North Korea, but China has many reasons not to believe so,” Du said. “It’s hard for China to tell whether the surveillance was targeting North Korea or China’s military deployment.” He compared the mistrust to American concerns about China’s island building in the South China Sea, which Beijing insists is for primarily for civilian use — despite having built military airstrips and missile shelters there.

“Both sides suffer from misunderstandings and lack mutual trust,” Du said.

President Trump has praised Chinese President Xi Jinping for helping the United States put pressure on North Korea to dismantle its nuclear and missile programs, and China says it is enforcing United Nations sanctions and has suspended coal imports.

However, experts say Beijing is unwilling to push the Pyongyang regime too far and does not want to see the regime fall. It is pushing for dialogue between the two sides.

This latest incident, combined with the furor over the deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Aerial Defense (THAAD) system in South Korea, is a reminder of how even defensive actions by the United States relating to North Korea can spook China.

More than that, it underlines the tensions over American military surveillance in the region.

In December a Chinese naval ship seized an underwater American drone in international waters in the South China Sea. It was returned the following week.

In February, a Chinese military plane crossed near the nose of a Navy P-3C Orion anti-submarine and surveillance plane above the South China Sea, flying within about 1,000 feet in an encounter the Pentagon described as unsafe but probably unintentional.

In April 2001, a Chinese jet fighter collided with a U.S. surveillance plane over the South China Sea, leading to the death of the Chinese pilot and the detention of the 24 U.S. crew members in China for 10 days. Since then, the two countries have established closer contacts to prevent similar incidents from sparking an international crisis.
