US Refuses to Apologize on Spy Plane Incident
The United States said on Tuesday that China should expect no apology over a US spy plane incident, insisting that nothing had been done to warrant an apology.
"We didn't do anything wrong. This was international airspace, and it was an accident," said a senior US official in response from public appeals from Chinese officials for an apology.
The official said the United States would regret the loss of the Chinese pilot involved in the mid-air collision on Sunday with a US EP-3 spy plane, if indeed the pilot was killed, "but in terms of an apology, no."
