Washington (CNN) — China's apparent landing of a military jet on a man-made
island in the disputed waters of the South China Sea drew protest from the
United States military Monday.
"We're aware that a Chinese military aircraft landed at Fiery Cross Reef on
Sunday in what China described as a humanitarian operation to evacuate three
ill workers," Pentagon spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis told CNN in a statement.
"It is unclear why the Chinese used a military aircraft, as opposed to a
civilian one."
The United States, along with the Philippines have voiced continued concern
over China's establishment of man-made islands in portions of the South
China Sea, one of the world's busiest sea lanes for commerce, in areas
claimed by the Philippines and thousands of miles from the Chinese mainland.
Showdown in the South China Sea: How did we get here?
There has been particular apprehension over Fiery Cross Reef -- one of China
's man-made islands in the Spratly Island chain -- after the Chinese
constructed a runway long enough to accommodate large military aircraft.
China claims the reclamation project is permitted by international law, but
the United States and nearby countries like the Philippines and Vietnam fear
China will use the islands to project their military might and upset the
balance of power further from their shores.
"We urge China to reaffirm that it has no plans to deploy or rotate military
aircraft at its outposts in the Spratly's, in keeping with China's prior
assurances," Davis said in his statement.
The United States continues to perform "freedom of navigation" operations in
close proximity of the Chinese islands to challenge Beijing's territorial
claims.
During a visit to the Philippines last week, Defense Secretary Ash Carter
was aboard the USS John C. Stennis aircraft carrier as it conducted one of
those operations in the South China Sea.
"In the South China Sea, China's actions in particular are causing anxiety
and raising regional tensions," Carter told sailors aboard the ship. "In
response, countries across the Asia-Pacific, both long-standing allies and
new partners, are reaching out anew to the United States, to uphold the
rules and principles that have allowed the region to thrive. And we're
answering that call."
