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.

  1. 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?

  2. Soon ,if not secretly already ,Nike,Apple and the NBA will join forces with Russia to defeat the US and it's allies.

  3. It's not okay to show military Equipment in used

  4. 'England' building up its military presence in the 'English' channel ?

  5. 美国飞机还能得多久?脸皮真厚

  6. US Dept of Energy, and a couple other agencies determined that covid WAS a lab leak . Ty China.

  7. China's military build up on the China Sea?
    OK SO WHAT ?

  8. Lets go yall im be the first to die when ww3 starts

  9. I guess Pelosi and her son got the Taiwan money laundries up and running. Time to send Taiwan some "military Aid" money.

  10. 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?

  11. 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.

  12. 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!!!

  13. What is the Name of the Sea Again?

  14. The yankees dont belong there. Just provocation from the usa

  15. 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

  16. Great another world war coming in hot

  17. 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.

  18. 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

  19. What do you think US is doing in South China sea ? Why no other patrolling the Pacific ocean? Why ? Any reason ? Biased news ?

  20. 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.

  21. 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.

  22. Only under the Biden regime.

  23. 敌人都到门口了,解放军还不具有侵略性的话就解散算了。

  24. If china's greed makes a wrong move china would become Taiwan he he

  25. China saw weakness in Afghanistan, and our heroes died cause of the suicide bomber, and we just left without standing our ground! Sad!

  26. World pirates..
    🇺🇲☠️

  27. I think we all saw this coming

  28. From a filipino guy to china… KCUF OUY!!

  29. The United States is looking for war every minute.

  30. Good to know that PLA is on their Duty daily✌

  31. It looks like we're going to save the big stuff for China and leave Ukraine to Europe. I hate saying this now, but it looks like we didn't learn from history. Europe will be able to kick Russia's teeth in this time (we helped them in WW II), and America will take over China. Don't forget what started WW II; Russia and Germany invaded Poland in 1938 causing France and England to ally with Poland. The end of 1941 Asia attacked Pearl Harbor. We kicked Asia's teeth in then went to help in Europe. This time Europe can take over Russia on its own, and we can have China. I saw this coming with Trump sucking Putin's toes. I think Putin really did have video of Trump doing perverted things with prostitutes. It fits.

  32. U.S. building up its military presence in the South America Sea amid rising tensions with China.

  33. Man made islands that are sinking. Nature always wins

  34. International waters? Who define that? The US? Hypocrites!

  35. The US has 800 overseas military bases and many are surrounding China in Japan, Korea and the Philippines. Peace is not allowed as they keep on creating one enemy after another.

  36. so? NATO and US building up its military presence all over the world….at least for China, it is south "CHINA" sea..the backyard…what NATO has to do in ASIA?

  37. I went to patrol someone's backyard and they just kept staring at me, can anyone tell me why?

  38. If it was built, it can sink

  39. PLA: Get out of my backyard!
    US navy: This yard belongs to this whole neighbourhood!
    PLA: Sorry where are you from?
    US navy:I'm from the other nabourhood.

  40. It’s coming! Countries blowing each other up! Christ Jesus will return to set up God’s Kingdom! Before that, the worst is yet to come!!🙏✝️

  41. After World War II, you let France tamper with Africa until it turned it into a zone of corruption ruled by tyrants. If American investments went to Africa and the continent turned into a successful model, China would never have risen to be threat today

  42. I don't understand why the U.S. needs to get involved in affairs between China & Taiwan, it's none of their business. That's like if China gets involved in disputes between the U.S. & Puerto Rico or Hawaii.
