Exclusive: U.S. Military Failed To Detect Prior Chinese Incursions - General Says
The U.S. military failed to detect two Chinese military incursions into American territory in the last year, a top general said Wednesday.
"In hindsight, we should have detected," Army Gen. Mark Milley said during a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
The two incursions were first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
The first took place in September, when a Chinese military plane flew close to a U.S. Navy ship in international waters near the Chinese coast. The second occurred in May, when a Chinese missile destroyed a U.S. spy satellite.
Both incidents could have escalated into a military confrontation, but the U.S. did not detect either one until after the fact.
The Chinese government has denied any responsibility for the incursions.

“As NORAD commander, it’s my responsibility to detect threats to North America,” Gen. Glen D. VanHerck, who oversees the North American Aerospace Defense Command, told reporters during a news briefing. “I will tell you that we did not detect those threats. And that’s a domain awareness gap that we have to figure out.”
Spokespeople for VanHerck’s command did not immediately clarify whether NORAD’s past shortcomings constituted mission failure.
The revelations have caused a firestorm in Washington, and intensified long-simmering friction between the U.S. and Chinese governments, leading the Biden administration late last week to postpone a trip to Beijing by Secretary of State Antony Blinken. China has insisted the most recent incursion was unintended, claiming the airship was merely collecting weather data when it was blown off course.
