The capture included two Chinese J-10 military aircraft and a U.S. Aviation based armed forces RC-135 surveillance plane, U.S. Pacific Command said in an announcement.
"One of the capturing Chinese planes had a perilous inordinate rate of conclusion on the RC-135 airplane. Introductory evaluation is this is by all accounts an instance of uncalled for airmanship, as no other provocative or risky moves happened," Pacific Command said. It didn't say how close the Chinese warrior went to the U.S. plane.
"The Department of Defense is tending to the issue with China in proper strategic and military channels," the announcement said.
China's Defense Ministry said it had noticed the report and was investigating it.
"According to the report, the U.S. side is again purposely advertising up the issue of the nearby observation of China by U.S. military air ship," it told Reuters in an announcement.
"Chinese military pilots reliably complete operations as per the law and the standards, and are proficient and capable," it included, without expounding.
Chinese Foreign Ministry representative Hong Lei said such watches genuinely hurt China's security, and rehashed an interest they stop.
"China has the privilege to take protective measures," he told a day by day news instructions, without distinguishing the site of the capture.
Inquired as to whether the episode had been planned to agree with abnormal state China-U.S. talks in Beijing, went to by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Hong reacted, "Ask the Americans."
In May, the Pentagon said two Chinese warrior planes flew inside 50 feet (15 meters) of a U.S. EP-3 air ship over the South China Sea.
The Pentagon verified that the May episode disregarded an assention the two governments marked a year ago.
Prior this week, Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States would consider any Chinese foundation of an air guard zone over the South China Sea to be a "provocative and destabilizing act."
U.S. authorities have communicated worry that a worldwide court administering expected in coming weeks on a body of evidence brought by the Philippines against China over its South China Sea cases could provoke Beijing to proclaim an air guard ID zone, or ADIZ, as it did over the East China Sea in 2013.
China has asserted the greater part of the South China Sea, through which $5 trillion in exchange is sent each year. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei have covering claims.
Washington has blamed Beijing for mobilizing the South China Sea in the wake of making fake islands. Beijing, thus, has condemned expanded U.S. maritime watches and activities in Asia.
At a meeting in Singapore a week ago, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said the U.S. way to deal with the Asia-Pacific stayed "one of responsibility, quality and consideration," yet he cautioned China against provocative conduct in the South China Sea.
