The Chinese navy on Wednesday warned a U.S. military surveillance plane multiple times as it flew over a contested military installation being constructed on man-made islands in the South China Sea.

The U.S. is considering flying such surveillance missions at lower altitudes over the islands and sailing U.S. warships within miles of them to make clear the United States does not recognize China's territorial claims.

A CNN team was given exclusive access to fly onboard the P8-A Poseidon as it flew over the islands.

Not sure. I know it's big on CNN's homepage right now. It was just a "Breaking News" segment and not linkable last I checked.

CNN
The Weather Channel for news.

If you have an IQ in triple-digits, you do not watch it.

Perhaps it's a ploy to get CNN folks on a plane that may get shot at.

Not a chance. Too much money to be lost by the people in charge on both sides.

This is just wrong.

They are not creating island in the South China Sea, creating ADIZ's in the East China sea and South China Sea to not step it up a notch.

Right, because there wasn't everything to be lost in WWI and WWII as well.
