US flies B-52 bombers near Chinese islands

‘The United States has flown two B-52 bombers very close to China’s artificial islands in the South China Sea, a move apparently designed to increase tensions with Beijing.

A US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Hill newspaper on Thursday that the bombers made one pass within 12 nautical miles (22.2km, or 13.8 miles) of the islands over the weekend.

The Chinese military radioed the bombers and told them to “get away from our islands.” However, according to the US official, the bombers refused to obey the Chinese order.’
