PLA reveals US-China military encounter off Hong Kong

China and the US became locked in an intense military confrontation as close as 150km from Hong Kong in early 2021, prompting the US to destroy its own floating sonars. This has been revealed for the first time since the incident.

On January 5th three US military aircraft launched a submarine hunt unusually close to China’s shoreline. China's People Liberation Army, which was conducting a naval exercise in the area, responded swiftly by sending out a counter force, the size and nature of which remains classified.

The two forces were so close that the US military self-destroyed its floating sonars to prevent the sensitive devices from falling into China’s hands.
