The latest data from the China Think Tank announced that the U.S. military dispatched a total of 54 secondary reconnaissance aircraft in June this year to the South China Sea for surveillance, an additional eight increases from 46 secondary reconnaissance aircraft in May.
The China Think Tank's "South China Sea Strategic Situment Performance Plan" on Sunday (July 2) was published on Weibo to publish the above data.
The posts pointed out that the scrutiny is based on the ADS-B signal statistics. Because some U.S. military aircraft use false identification codes or do not open the signal when performing reconnaissance tasks, the actual number is more.
The situation in the disputed waters of the South China Sea is highly tense. The region is also one of the most important trade routes in the world.Essence
Liu Pengyu, a spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, said earlier that Beijing has a solid historical and legal foundation for the South China Sea. The United States is not a dispute and should not carry out military operations in the area.
