With the impending US presidential election, it was alleged that a US military reconnaissance plane flew over Taiwan.

China is in a position where Taiwan is part of its territory, but the United States has denied passage.

Has the Chinese government also spoken out on reports of US military aircraft passing over Taiwan?

Perhaps because the United States denies the fact, the Chinese government has yet to present an official response.

In early June, when a report was released that a US military plane had passed over Taiwan, China strongly opposed it, calling it a violation of sovereignty.

In response to the problem, Chinese military officials pointed out that flying US military aircraft over Taiwan was unprofessional behavior that could create unnecessary friction, the Hong Kong South China Morning Post reported.

Chinese military officials also claimed on the 21st that they tracked and monitored the flight of US military aircraft over Taipei in northern Taiwan.

The Global Times newspaper, a Chinese government news agency, insisted that if evidence of US military aircraft flying out, the Chinese military should also send fighters over Taiwan to respond decisively.

The controversy began when some aircraft tracking sites revealed that a US military plane had passed over Taiwan on the 21st, and on the same day, a US Pacific Air Force command official confirmed that it was true.

However, the US military site ‘The Warzone’ reported that US Pacific Air Force Public Affairs Lt. Col. Tony Wickman changed position, saying that the first announcement that a US reconnaissance aircraft flew over Taiwan was a mistake.

In this regard, the South China Morning Post analyzed that both the US and China seem to be trying to reduce the problem so that it does not expand, taking into account the sensitivity of the issue.

It seems that the two countries are managing the situation so that it does not lead to a military conflict. Is the first phase of the trade agreement well implemented?

It doesn’t go well with Corona 19, but at least the trade deal doesn’t seem to have any additional impact on the upcoming US presidential election on the 9th.

This is because China is actively implementing the import of agricultural products from the United States, which is in President Trump’s interest.

The US government announced that China had bought US agricultural products worth $ 23 billion and about 26 trillion won in Korean money after signing the first phase of the trade deal two days ago.

In particular, they said that 71% of the annual targets agreed by the two countries have already been achieved, including increased imports of corn and pork from China.

Earlier in China, Vice Premier Hu Chun-hwa held a video conference with executives from the National Committee on Trade between the United States and China, a trade-related organization in the United States, to verify the implementation of the agreement.

In this regard, the China Global Times analyzed that despite the Corona 19 pandemic, Chinese imports of US goods increased 2.8% year-on-year and exports increased 1.8% until the third quarter of this year.

Despite the serious conflict between the United States and China, cooperation remains almost the only one in the field of mutually beneficial trade.
