US Bombers Fly Over South China Sea in Challenge to China

Two U.S bombers flew over the disputed South China Sea, the U.S. Air Force said Friday, asserting the right to treat the region as international territory despite China’s claims in the busy waterway.


The flight from Guam Thursday came as U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping prepare for a likely meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Germany.
