Bull shit
What do you call this then?
"The only other U-2 operator was the Republic of China (Taiwan), which flew missions mostly over the People's Republic of China (PRC). Since the 1950s, the Republic of China Air Force had used the RB-57A/D aircraft for reconnaissance missions over the PRC, but suffered two losses when MiG-17s and SA-2 Surface-to-Air Missiles were able to intercept the aircraft.
In 1958, ROC and American authorities reached an agreement to create the 35th Squadron, nicknamed the Black Cat Squadron, composed of two U-2Cs in Taoyuan Airbase in northern Taiwan, at an isolated part of the airbase. To create the typical misdirections at the time, the unit was created under the cover of high altitude weather research missions for ROCAF. To the US government, the 35th Squadron and any US CIA/USAF personnel assigned to the unit were known as Detachment H on all documents. But instead of being under normal USAF control, the project was known as Project RAZOR,[37][38] and was run directly by CIA with USAF assistance."

or do you know that up until china inducted Su-27s in the 90s,
for the entire 1980s Japan's F-15Js were the most advanced fighter in east asia. while chinese counter part has just very limited number of J-8 daylight version. with mostly J-6s as back up.
while Japan's ADIZ line was little bit 200 miles off coast of Shanghai, with routine patrols.
or what about the huge US air bases in Kadena, Misawa, Yokota
or what about Yokosuka Japan.
with an entire aircraft carrier battle group stationed there, plus a big chunk of Japanese navy.
Japanese-US naval and air superiority existed long before 1980s. and most of china's productive area is covered under that threat. even today not a single day goes by with out some rand type reminding People that US can unleash couple of hundred tons of precision guided conventional explosive against targets on mainland targets in any nasty eventualities.
that's not including the long standing refusal by US to adopt a no-first-use on nuclear weapons. which china openly declare to abid by and has kept only a dangerously minimum deterent.
not to mention the malaca choke hold.
Who is the war monger? who is the agressor?
If an alien was watching the whole thing from 1950 upto today, clearly what china is doing today is merely shoreing up an dangerous lag in defense that existed since 1950.
it is an reaction not an aggression.
