Maybe this is how WW3 starts?
Near miss? So they collided?
Or Chun Wang.
Another Chinese pilot flying the Wang Wei.

I always wondered about that. Why would you call a “miss” a “near miss”?
Who knows, the world is freaking nutz right now. It wouldn't surprise me if China wanted some kind of limited engagement to thin their herd a little bit. They are sure acting more belligerent than usual.
Wang Wei’s return? He’s been quiet since the US incident.
They do have multiple millions of single men who have no chance at a woman, due to their one child only policy for so many years, so they may be seeking to thin out the herd. As a new world military power, how else do they investigate their newly developed arms under fire? Look at all the proxy wars the USSR and US fought. Many new weapons were tested under combat conditions in these proxy wars. I am surprised though, that the Chinese have not found a country to test these weapons in a real war.
It sounds better than ‘near hit’? (George Carlin)
We let them do it to us several years ago - why would they not try it again?
I LOL’ed the first time that was posted and still do. That’s funny.
George Carlin: Here’s one they just made up: “near miss”. When two planes almost collide, they call it a near miss. It’s a near hit. A collision is a near miss.

Thanks Parmenio.
Hi.
If I were keeping score in baseball, I would prefer a “near miss.”
5.56mm
I would hit a near miss, if she had a pleasing personality.
This is positioning for taking one more more of the Senkaku Islands. In itself that’s not such a huge deal, but China would probably not be able to hold them unless they ALSO took one or probably all of the little-known, uncontested Yaeyama Islands, which feature 7 airfields even closer to Taiwan and which are home to 50,000 Japanese people.
Some (not many) thinkers believe not ANY of this could be done without China ALSO taking Okinawa, which is a very, very huge deal, obviously.
The basic goal of China is to dominate the East and South China seas:
Basically to expel the US Navy out to the Phillipines, or Wake or whatever.
One time they even point-blank posited, “How bout u guys get the East Pacifica and then We, China, simply take the West Pacific? How bout that?”
