| Subject: South China Sea tension rises amid US blacklisting, report of Beijing missile fire 'warning' Thu Aug 27, 2020 12:38 am | |
| Beijing's claims in the South China Sea have been accompanied by increased military and commercial activities. The U.S. on Wednesday announced it blacklisted Chinese officials and business executives involved in the military buildup of the disputed South China Sea, further ratcheting up tensions in the region ahead of the November election -- the same day that Beijing reportedly fired missiles including an "aircraft-carrier killer" into the sea as a "warning" to the U.S. China had claimed a U-2 spy plane entered a no-fly zone without permission during a naval drill in the Bohai Sea, a military source told the South China Morning Post. The Pentagon has given few details, but said a U-2 flew "within the accepted international rules and regulations governing aircraft flights." The State Department announced the blacklist Wednesday morning. Immediate family members of those targeted may also be barred from travel to the United States, the department said.
