China to US: Stop spying in border areas
The United States should not dispatch any plane for reconnaissance activities along the Chinese border and should respect China's state sovereignty and territorial integrity, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan in Beijing Thursday. Such a stance "remains unchanged", Kong told a press conference on the third anniversary of the "April 1 Incident", when a US spy plane collided with a Chinese military jet. The incident itself was "serious" and brought "serious damage" to China-US relations, Kong said. In the incident, Chinese pilot Wang Wei was killed and his plane sunk after the US spy plane made a sharp turn in violation of normal flying rules. The spy plane then entered China's territory and landed at a military airport in south China's HainanProvince without permission. The incident triggered waves of demonstrations by Chinese students and citizens in a number of major Chinese cities three years ago. |
