The Chinese naval jet collapses, the pilot successfully ejects.

The plane belonged to the theater command in the south of the Chinese military and collapsed in Hainan, a province from the South Island, the AFP News Agency cited a marine statement on social networks.

The command of the South Theater is responsible for some of the most sensitive regions of China, including the South China Sea, where the confrontations between Chinese and Filipino ships have fueled tensions over recent years on the islands and reefs.

“The pilot has successfully ejected, causing any collateral damages on the ground,” Marina said.

For years, China has tried to improve her domination over the contested areas of the South China Sea, despite an international decision that declares her legally invalid requests.

Recently, China has become more aggressive in reaffirming its demand in the region, because Vietnam, Indonesia and Philippines refuse to return to defending the respective claims.

Even last month, the Coast Guard in the Philippines condemned the “dangerous” actions of a Chinese navy helicopter, which was dangerous to a surveillance flight with journalists on board above Scarborough Shoal.

Marina informed that the accident happened in an open area of ​​Hainan, a province in the south of the island. Investigation in the accident has already been established.
