The pro-Beijing tabloid The People's Daily tweeted that the audio clip was recorded on July 23 when 'a US military plane was driven away by a Chinese jet.'

Likely the Chinese propaganda arm giving China wiggle room and claim "aggression by the west" and heroic self defence by the PLA"

Or on CNN: mostly peaceful
