    It’s all posturing between China and US, both militaries just waving multi billion dollar aircraft in each others’ faces.

    Gotta love China’s diplomatic commentary:

    China’s Defense Ministry on Wednesday pushed back on such characterizations [of avoiding communication], saying the country “attaches importance” to developing US-China military relations and there had been “no interruption” in contact, while also blaming Washington for hampering communication.

      The difference is that US comes half way across the globe to wave their multi billion dollar aircraft in China’s face.
