China's Air Force Accused of 'Risky' and 'Coercive' Behavior in Pacific Skies

The United States has accused China's Air Force of engaging in "risky" and "coercive" behavior in the skies above the Pacific, releasing footage of over 180 Chinese intercepts of US fighter jets in the past two years. The Pentagon warns that such incidents pose dangers and could inadvertently lead to conflict. China has responded by accusing Canada of an "illegal intrusion" into its airspace. The US remains committed to strengthening its deterrence in the region and preparing for potential conflicts with China.
