[Global Times-Global Network Reporter Suo Yanqi] According to Agence France-Presse and other media reports, the U.S. Navy said on the 26th local time that an MH-60R Seahawk helicopter and an F/A-18F Super Hornet fighter jet crashed in the South China Sea one after another on the same day. All the crew members on board were safely rescued.

In response to the question asked by foreign media reporters, "What is China's comment on this?" at the China Ministry of Foreign Affairs' routine press conference on October 27, Guo Jianquan said that China has taken note of the reports. If the United States proposes that China is willing to provide the necessary assistance to the United States from a humanitarian perspective, we want to emphasize that the relevant U.S. military aircraft crashed during military exercises in the South China Sea, and that the U.S. frequently sent military ship aircraft to the South China Sea to show force is the root of maritime security issues and disrupting regional peace and stability.
