In response to media reports revealing that two US Navy aircraft - an MH-60R Sea Hawk helicopter and a US Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet fighter assigned to aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN-68) - crashed in the South China Sea on Sunday in two separate incidents, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated Monday that China has taken note of the relevant reports. If the US side makes a request, China is willing to provide necessary assistance from a humanitarian perspective. He emphasized that the US military aircraft crashed while conducting military exercises in the South China Sea.
The spokesperson noted that the frequent dispatch of US warships and military aircraft to the South China Sea to flex its muscles is the root cause of maritime security issues and undermines regional peace and stability.
