McCain On China

Hours after China's president set foot on U.S. soil for an official state visit, Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain (R-AZ) put out a statement earlier today about another Chinese flyby of a U.S. military aircraft last week:

"Yet another dangerous Chinese intercept of a U.S. aircraft last week shows that China feels emboldened to continue its pattern of aggressive behavior in the Asia-Pacific region. That this flight came amid negotiations of rules for air-to-air encounters and just one week ahead of President Xi's arrival in the United States raises further questions about China’s intentions and the Obama administration's response thus far."
