Global Times, the mouthpiece of the Xi Jinping government, said that China's Maritime Safety Administration had announced that it was going to conduct a "military mission from Friday to September 4 in the Bohai strait and northern Yellow Sea". The Global Times also claimed that China had "expelled" and destroyed the US spy plane U-2, which flew in the Chinese-designated "no-fly zone" on Tuesday when China was conducting a live-fire naval drill in the Bohai Sea off its north coast.
