During a high-stakes U.S. surveillance flight, NBC News’ Janis Mackey Frayer gets a rare chance to see China’s military buildup just weeks after the U.S. shot down the Chinese spy balloon. A Chinese fighter jet came within 500 feet of the U.S. aircraft, as tensions flare up between the two superpowers.

The United States is looking for war every minute.
From a filipino guy to china… KCUF OUY!!
@kongming2005 The US is welcomed by the Philippines to settle territorial disputes, not to colonize Philippines. Stop spewing fake information, as a friendly tip from an American. Thank you
America adopted 🐕 🐕
@Ricky Calloway yes

I think we all saw this coming
World pirates..
🇺🇲☠️
China saw weakness in Afghanistan, and our heroes died cause of the suicide bomber, and we just left without standing our ground! Sad!
If china’s greed makes a wrong move china would become Taiwan he he
敌人都到门口了，解放军还不具有侵略性的话就解散算了。
你的国家将成为历史
Only under the Biden regime.
The Chinese people need to realise that their country is no longer a republic but an autocratic dictatorship that their ancestors fought against in a not too distance past.
Why is anyone surprised by this.. America could have stopped China from militarising the once pristine islands years ago.. why didn’t you..? And this is what you get when you procrastinate as a country.
What do you think US is doing in South China sea ? Why no other patrolling the Pacific ocean? Why ? Any reason ? Biased news ?
If their going to warn us to stay away please don’t sound like I’m trying to place a order at China Express 😒 a voice like that she definitely gonna forget the eggs rolls
I didn’t want to say it 😂… I’m sure if we tried to speak mandarin to them it would sound just as awkward!
As I’ve always said liberalism is the biggest threat to this country..sure hope all the blacks and illegals aliens and transgenders and antifa and everyone else they pander to for votes are ready to get out of their safespace and pickup arms when two of the world’s superpowers are knocking at our door. I guess all that matters is nobody is offended by mean tweets anymore.
Great another world war coming in hot
到人家人门口偷窥还有道理？这就是美国浪费纳税人钱的证据，美国只会制造战争
The yankees dont belong there. Just provocation from the usa
What is the Name of the Sea Again?
goddam, how many military bases does the us of a have in different countries, seems like they got a military base or military outpost in every country, that’s crazy!!!
So why is America in the South China Sea again? Us Taiwanese don’t need you there. You are provoking us to be like Russia and Ukraine. GO HOME AMERICA! GO HOME! You are the only one that wants this war.
Taiwan welcomes the US in the South China Sea. China is in the backyard of Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, etc. The US is there to settle territorial disputes and violation of sovereignties of several nations. Maybe you should move back to China, but you won’t because everything you find joy in life are from the freedoms of the Western world and somehow you will continue to eat up the lies from the CCP like a pig 🐷
What kind of brain you have to even do such reporting? You are flying a spy plane in South China Sea and you complain that they warn you to defend themselves? Imagine some psycho fella with infrared binocular, weird detectors and sensor at the front yard of your house, will you keep quiet and not to warn them? You have brain damage lately or since birth?
@RickyC420 Ok. Fentanyl to you. This is the internet, my child. Am I supposed to be offended by Americans’ flair for theatrics? You may now go shoot your neighbor, most likely a non white, given the bad genes you inherited. That is what you have been reduced to.
@Ricky Calloway Step out of your comfort zone in the States, from the safety of your cocoon. Ukraine awaits you
@ZhenYa Many brain damaged dude around. Imagine if Russian, China, or anyone else have their spy plane flying over Hawaii, Alaska and you can imagine Americans got hysteria over it. They got so frantic to see a balloon, what more if a spy plane AND Please stfu and take no action when you detected other plane in your territory. Sometimes I really wonder if these goons are absolutely stupid or have brain damaged? Perhaps both
@kongming2005 I couldn’t imagine being a Xi or Hitler sympathizer, so I think you’re living in your own little world. Without WWII and the freedoms that the West has fought for, there would be no Youtube so why don’t you go on WeChat where you can talk to your little communist buddies? China isn’t the only country in the world, you have many neighboring countries now, it’s not all about you guys. Stop being greedy and share the sea for the millions of other lives in other nations.
@kongming2005 By the way we have Canadians fishing within our own waters at times, but you don’t see the US flexing military might against them. Maybe China should take some lessons in sharing. You honestly disgust me to the core, spoiled by the freedoms of the West, using our language, our media, our land, sympathizing for corrupt dictators such as Xi. Tell me, who’s really brain damaged?
I guess Pelosi and her son got the Taiwan money laundries up and running. Time to send Taiwan some “military Aid” money.
Lets go yall im be the first to die when ww3 starts
China’s military build up on the China Sea?
OK SO WHAT ?
So after their Covid leak, spy balloons, and threats to our allies…its now time for America to flex on the Chinamen. American companies are starting to pull out of China for aggregated risks at the present & future.
US Dept of Energy, and a couple other agencies determined that covid WAS a lab leak . Ty China.
‘England’ building up its military presence in the ‘English’ channel ?
It’s not okay to show military Equipment in used
Soon ,if not secretly already ,Nike,Apple and the NBA will join forces with Russia to defeat the US and it’s allies.
Hahhahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha good one 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So ,Russia wins the war against Ukraine, whats the worst that can happen, thousands of women and children are saved and trillions are saved that could be better spent else where? What about all that unneeded pollution?
Who is the one thousands of miles away from home with over 800 military bases all over the world? Military buildup? Is she kidding?
You doesn’t have bases around the world because you have no friends
Who is the one hundreds of miles away from home with a illegal island right next to another country? Military buildup? Are you kidding?
She is a great American mother. Truly a great American mother.
@Thinking Aloud
Guess it would be better to set up bases like the US IN a country and set up a coup d’etat so they can run it.
亲爱的美国人应该更关心俄亥俄
Why …???
WR is coming.
Huh?
Ahhhh me sucky sucky lounge time
US military flying military aircraft off Chinese coast of course they’re gonna escort that around…and the US would do the same! Why can’t we mind our own business?
America build up more military than China and Russia. What they talking about.
that j20 is a ripoff of a russian su27
Just hope this NBC reporter remember this time you’re so lucky that Chinese Jet didn’t shoot down. But hard to say nexttime it wouldn’t be happen ok. It bc your country the one first broken the rule. So can’t blame on China will return back the samething which if anythings or spy plane flying across China area nexttime.
Spy plane in South China Sea: “China rises tension”!!! 😂😂😂
China can destroy the USA in less than a week they know all our defenses and power grids are. Demosocialist voters.
Ww3 yeah baby 🥳
The Yankee’s hand is too long! Go to other people’s houses to show off their force! I really think of myself as a bully who does everything!
Ironic since you are occupying other people’s houses
U S Propaganda machine, military industrial complex in full gear and the media profiting off the coverage
I have heard nothing nationally, state or local with any plans for the common citizen in case of a nuclear attack..Are there plans,any bunkers?Noone knows…totally on our own
Decrepit Capitalist Dystopia Amerika causes trouble on other side of planet🌏 while it falls apart at home.
F’ Off back to your side of the planet!!!
US morons in the spy plane over South China Sea.
As long as America has it’s combat boots on the necks of China, I’m happy……..that’s as friendly as I want it to be. Ready to crush their windpipe in a moments notice is how it should be.
Amerika Hau Ab!!!!!!
Me using a foreign language to get around YT censorship.
US building up its military presence in the South China Sea amid rising tensions with China. Whats US doing in China’s backyard ?
What presence is that?
US wants more balloons to play with, adult toys getting expensive
US Military is like a Paparazzi that parked their van right in front of a celebrity’s front door, using all mean of infrared camera and instrument spying want celebrity did in their room, bedroom, and bathroom. When confronted, US say I’m not in your property, i’m park at Public road and don’t you dare to intimidate or challenge me. Its weird as US spy plane fly direct to others nation door step and accuse others for being blunt and intimidate. What happened if otherwise?
Huge mistake 🤣🤣🤣 now we know china will attack any planes 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣 f ccp
I live in Myanmar. i am chinese but I love US because us help myanmar😁😁😁😁😁😁
NED. Ok. That is how the Ukrainians’ hatred for their historical roots tied to Russia started the pogrom. Instigated by the Anglo Saxons, of course. Divide and rule.
You cannot be Chinese And dumb.
@ZhenYa Crazy boy spoiled by the freedoms that the West has fought for. I bet you wanted Hitler to win WWII so badly, don’t you stupid guy??? 😅😂😂😂🤣🤣
@RickyC420 Boy. You are already part of this white fascist movement. And more than likely, YouTube will delete this comment for its unsavoury truth and leave all the anti-Chinese and anti-Russian rhetoric online. The hatred for non-whites did not go away at all. The white dominance is being challenged, and the beast within is just being exposed. Until YouTube acts on it.
YouTube is littered with hatred for the CPC, being anti-Chinese.
There is communism in Italy, but they are spared scrutiny because they are white.
https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxSaaxJqv6_FH8c_aEtsIVOJBN5FDCWmy-
Sheer racism.
@ZhenYa You are horribly lost lmfao. I pray for you to find God and ask for forgiveness for all your sins. Please don’t breed.
GO CHINAAA
Im exited for war. I hope my country will be invaded by china so that we will become part of the greatest country in the world. China and Philippines are comrades!!!!
Hearing their little threats are so adorable. Sound just like the guy that owns city wok 😂
Well now I see why China is sending weather balloons to the Americas.
south china sea is not the south u.s sea. that’s interesting.
❤️❤️❤️
(forwarded): America will lose if America downplays the power of China’s propaganda.
1. China controls its media tightly. Its propaganda is everywhere, and the entire population has been brainwashed. China bans all foreign social media (like FB, Twitter, YouTube, etc.), then extends its social media (WeChat, TikTok, etc.) into America to influence and disorder its society by taking advantage of America’s freedom of speech.
At the beginning of Russia-Ukraine war, there are two voices in China’s social media. Some support Russia, and some support Ukraine. Then communist party orders all social media platforms to remove the voice which support Ukraine. Thus, more and more ordinary people support Russia.
China is now starting Anti-America wave by creating many fake news to blacken US.
2. Clinton and Obama are naive. They brought China into WTO and helped China to develop its economy with a hope that democracy ideology can gradually influence China. But it has been proved totally wrong. 20 years on,
China controls its people even more tightly than before. Even US ambassador in Beijing cannot post an article in any media in China.
Economically US has suffered a big lost as China didn’t follow the promise to open its market.
Clinton and Obama have made US weaker and China stronger.
3. China orders all China companies to be loyalty to China’s communist party, thus all China’s social media platforms become places of Anti-America (all prone-America posts and posts which are in favor of US with truth will be removed.). But all America’s social medias (like FB, Twitter, YouTube, etc.) stay neutral. Some America’ social medias, to curry favor with China’s users or sponsors, they show a stance of partially Anti-America. Such an unbalanced situation persists, America will lose out one day.
4. America must change its mindset, or it will lose.
Make legislation to ban China’s propaganda in US. Stop China taking advantage of America’s freedom of speech. Ban China’s all social medias (WeChat, TikTok, etc.) in America. America must go first, then other democracy countries can follow.
Has Msnbc even covered the Ohio derailment ?
Why did the United States send warships and warplanes to fly over the South China Sea thousands of miles away instead of trade ships? Think about what would happen if China would sail its warships to Hawaii or Guam every month? Is that the damned “China threat theory” again? There is a reason why the United States is often referred to as a double dog.
Why do these US jets intrude on Chinese territory?
This is not Chinese territory. They’d just get shot down if they actually went over Chinese territory.
@silverhawk361 If this were not Chinese territory, why wouldn’t the US just bomb those artificial islands?
@Clark L Since that would cause a major incident. ASEAN members are concerned about China but don’t support shooting first.
WTF? What on earth did the US spy plane fly over China’s territory for?
It’s not China’s territory.
Hahaha USA doesn’t even send spies or concealed equipment.. they just go like that to peak on them
If China flew jets and sent aircraft carriers as close to the USA border, if be surprised if all they did was intercept with a single fighter on the wing… Definitely the US are intruding
Intruding on what?
Can somebody …….please speak aut…….stop this madness…….1 or to start this …..when they get the ide to look back in histori…..put…in one and trump
The USA is in the South CHINA Sea not the gulf of Mexico. USA is nuts
I’m thinking: If it were the other way around, what would we have done? I’m guessing that we’ll probably react similarly. We already have multiple military bases surrounding China; I think there are about 400. It does appear like we’re hemming China in against its own coastline. I ask: Is this how we plan on making America great again? It does sound and look like an overall strategy of containment. Nowadays, I hear an awful lot of rhetoric (more like vitriol) about how China is doing this and how China is doing that, but all of this has gotten me to a point where I’m asking myself: Isn’t my beloved country, America, the most powerful country in the world, both economically and militarily, doing the same things? These thoughts are quite troubling to me.
And not to mention shipping weapons to ukraine
@arif jau You want Russia to forcibly take Ukraine after they took the Ukrainian’s defense net (nuclear weapons) in exchange for safety from an invasion??? Then give China ideas to invade Taiwan inevitably starting WWIII??? If that’s true… Please don’t breed.
Americans have no business in Asia Pacific. Leave or we will make you leave, White supremacist
Imagine having military bases in Philippines, Korea, Japan, Taiwan etc..
And telling us that China are expanding their presence in the region. A region which is off their own coast.
Come on man.
@Ricky Calloway Imagine waging a deadly war in vietnam, korea etc. and claiming the US are there to police territorial disputes.
Hows that working out for us in South America? Or the Middle East?
@Alan Smith Imagine being a Putin, Xi, Hitler, Kim sympathizer 🐷
You don’t have bases in those places or around the world for that matter because you have no frnds
You are kidding right. China isn’t just “expanding” it’s occupying territory and stealing resources that doesn’t belong to it. Grab a book or something instead of just eating up CCP propaganda
🇨🇳🐶
The West is beating the drum for war with China louder and louder. The West is presenting China as the aggressor and itself as the victim. The military-intelligence-security-think tank-media industrial complex is looking for profits from a new Cold War. Watch for a false flag operation, similar to the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, possibly in the Strait of Taiwan or the South China Sea. The Western propaganda machine will then go into overdrive. Of course, the spectre of a so-called foreign aggressor is also a good distraction tool to be used by the ruling oligarchy in the US and the rest of The West to deflect people from the problems at home.
Whoa! That is a HUUUGE tin foil hat, very nice can I try it on 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The PLA was an ally of the US and Brittain in WW2 against the Japanese .
Would be surprised if both would ever go head to head.
Stay away from China, you don’t see China in Gulf, or in the Atlantic!?
It’s philippine waters 🌊
No its not.
@BUZZ US approves this idea, you stupid racist Chinese guy. Stop being greedy and share the sea. It’s not only about your country and your people anymore, you have neighboring countries, respect their lives and their nations as well.
Haitian Barack Obama from port a prince just pulled up Seamialaugh @ parx racing in the 4th for 44 Haitian president for a 2$ bet with alien technology yes I have planes following me everywhere now smh wants me home too himself forget Michelle & d 2 girls reputation me 9 10 71 he did 9 11 watching me for 35 years smh I bought Rudy rod in the 5th @ parx racing for $3 place & Barack placed him 3rd I lose again like my credit score & credit cards using government tools jokes on you Haitian that fooled the founding fathers
Hello Uncle Sam, if you have a problem with China, you can go to war with China directly, as long as you lose the war with China, your dollar, your credit, your status will completely collapse. You Americans let the rest of Asia die for you while you always start conflicts and hide behind. The conflict between the United States and China, I hope you will settle accounts with us, and don’t let innocent countries get involved. Don’t always hide behind, Ukraine is already miserable
China building up its military presence in the South China Sea amid USA threat; Here, corrected the title for you
“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” – Albert Einstein
HELP YOUR PEOPLE 2FACE UNCLE SAM
The South China Sea is in China own backyard is not they building over in America backyard. You made it sound China the bad guy building it Military here it the title need to change into America building it Military in the south China Sea just like to add one point America got nothing to do with them in this part of the world
that area is too quick to destroy if US wants to mind you guys
Sootdownthisugly us plane
This is crazy
如果中国的侦察机在美国的西部海岸这样飞行，你们会怎么看
It’s called the China sea 🌊 😳
Not the American sea .they are not afraid. America’s military 🪖 did not do so well in Vietnam. And China and N Korea have way more weapons than they did.
By your own logic, India owns the entire Indian Ocean so I guess that’s true right 🤦♂China isn’t the only country in the world, they have many neighboring countries now, it’s not all about them. They must stop being greedy and share the sea for the millions of other lives in other nations. US is not afraid of any country including China and will fight to uphold international law, it’s only right.
Lets us Americans vote to see if we want war
If not our government is paid for by US
IF WE DECIDE NO THEN NO WAR
OUR COUNTRY PUTS US IN SHIII WE NEVER WANTED AND IT’S OUR MONEY
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE
🗣 we are in war already they just not telling us
Thanks you so much america for helping the philippines. God bless america.
China is good with lies and propaganda.
Imagine what else will you do and enjoy more on a ‘typical Fridady’! Have fun mate.
Why us jets fly over south China sea? Have ever China airforce come to CA, WA, OR waters?
US flew over international airspace which China recognizes. They are there to settle territorial disputes over sea resources with neighboring nations. China must respect other countries and lives as well, they must not be greedy, share the sea.
@Ricky Calloway “ settle disputes“??? Is it ok for the US jet fly a bit higher than 300 meter above sea level and fly towards the Chinese Aircraft carrier? And east if Taiwan (yet United States recognise the ONE CHINA)?
They are slowly occupying the sea of the Phillipines later they will say we own the Philippines like what they did to Taiwan.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
💪🇺🇸🇺🇦💪
is the USA open to other country military to fly over America ?
huge US federal government budget is stolen by military-industry complex but each USA people are sacrificed to burden over USD94,000 national debt and suffer poor and aged infrastructure, threats of gunfire, expensive medical fees, robbering, being cheated by elites for losing life in overseas military services
the last Iranian royal dynasty, the Pahlavi dynasty was dictatorial under the support of the USA to rule for almost 54 years between 1925 and 1979 and sacrificing Iranians interests, not allowed for democracy under the influence of the USA
US build up military presence in California amid tensions with China.
And freaking us has army base all over the world lmao
Declare war on china
U.S. surveillance plane coming to the South China Sea looking for a fight ?
The Military Industrial Complex has the full control of the US politicians & Western MSM at the moment .
Biden is too busy waging wars around the world , and can not spare time to “Build Back Better” at home ?
US brought news reporters with no fear of attack or aggression, while a J-11 _fighter_ jet tailed them. Tell me, who’s looking for a fight?
@Ricky Calloway Jimmy Carter said in 2015 : The US has been at peace for only 16 of its 242 years as a nation. It is the most warlike nation in the history of the world, a result of the US forcing other countries to “adopt our American principles” . US has been waging Wars in the name of “Democracy” in Africa , the
Middle East & Ukraine ….. and created over 90 million refugees from these areas ( about 14 million from Ukraine at present ) . “Democracy” is being used as a “Weapon of Mass Destruction” by the US politicians . Too many Warmongers are in America . It is time to pass the Military Budget . Should we increase the Budget to the Military Industrial Complex by another 20% again ? This is the task for the MSM .
