Pentagon releases footage of hundreds of 'highly concerning' aircraft intercepts by Chinese planes

Chinese military aircraft have engaged in risky maneuvers near U.S. and allied aircraft almost 200 times since 2021, according to an anonymous U.S. official. This represents a significant increase compared to previous years.
The Pentagon has declassified photos and videos showing "coercive, high-risk" interactions between Chinese and U.S. fighter jets, including close approaches at high speeds, releasing objects, and other dangerous behavior. These incidents are believed to be part of a larger strategy by the Chinese military.
Despite these tensions, the Pentagon has accepted an invitation to attend China's top annual security forum in late October, indicating potential warming ties between the two countries' militaries.
