His aggression almost killed many more.

Celebrating a mistake as heroic just because the other party is the enemy/opposition is just stubbornness.

It was far from a professional move. Good thing he didn't take the 24 others with him to their deaths. It was anything but heroic.

Russian Bear bombers have been visiting the US on a regular basis since the 1960s. No one has died. It's called international airspace and we respect it even if you don't. Left - 2023 F-22 with Bear Right - 1963 F-102 with Bear

More like zero skills pilot. Today we remember that a jackass started an international incident by swerving into an American plane.

Yes, WangWei was an idiot for flying his jet directly into a slow moving prop plane flying in international waters, potentially prompting an international incident.

If you're going to make a propaganda video... at least use the same plane the careless and unprofessional PLAAF Wang Wei was flying... it was a Shenyang J-8B and it looks nothing like the jet you posted in the BS video.

What was the EP-8 doing so close to Hainan Island in the first place?

Then the US spy plane landed in Hainan and the US demanded their spy plane back and cut it up into pieces to take it out if I remember correctly?

Hotdogging and villainous #CCPchina pilot. Unsafe, unprofessional and illegal intercepts in peacetime. His regular intimidation , coercion and bodily harm are antithetical to a free and open Indo-Pacific. #southchinasea
