🚨 US pilots in South Korea dangerously provoke China during a recent drill.
On Feb 18, US Forces Korea held an air exercise, flying over the Yellow Sea and approaching Chinese airspace. China’s air force responded, leading to a tense standoff that could have easily sparked a clash.
South Korea was not informed the US was using its airspace for war games. US Forces Korea has refused to apologize.
This incident proves the danger the US military occupation of Korea poses to the Korean people, and to our neighbors like China.
The US military occupies South Korea with over 28,000 troops, and holds reckless and destructive war exercises throughout the year.
These drills keep Korea in a state of permanent war. They constantly provoke North Korea by rehearsing a US invasion just miles from its borders. They also routinely destroy Korean land and property, and ruin people’s health and livelihoods through environmental destruction, noise damage, and military accidents.
In less than two weeks, South Korea is set to host one of the largest US war games in the world: Freedom Shield. Anti-imperialists in South Korea are demanding its cancellation.
