* Marked rise in flights in Yellow Sea region between China and Korean peninsula, according to Chinese government-backed body
* Increase in air refuelling may suggest United States is preparing for future long-distance missions in the South China Sea, it says
At least 60 American warplanes conducted close-up reconnaissance flights near China in September and the US may be preparing for future long-distance missions in the South China Sea, according to a think tank in Beijing.
Among the 60 warplanes recorded, 41 flew over the disputed South China Sea, six over the East China Sea and, further north, 13 over the Yellow Sea, the Chinese government-backed South China Sea Strategic Situation Probing Initiative (SCSPI) said in a report released on Monday.
The report said air refueling activities had shown an uptick last month, possibly suggesting the United States was preparing for future long-distance attacks against targets in the South China Sea.
It said several air refueling aircraft sent to add fuel to the surveillance planes over the South China Sea had departed from the US’ military base in its western Pacific island territory of Guam.

Hope they picked up some good Intel off the second fattest man in Nork/China.

From Quora
From this picture is likely that he was 65kg several years ago.
Obama is 1,85m for 81,5kg so maybe Xi is really around 90kg and most likely not 1,8m.
His BMI should be 28.73 which means overweight.
BUT for Asians there are different standards since they have on average more fat for the same BMI.
So according to the ranges used in HK he would be moderately obese and the ranges of Singapore would put him in the high risk category, in Japan he would be obese level 1.
Indeed his waist look quite big.

You'll notice the Chicoms have not tried to force down any of our planes like they did the cowardly Bush.
I didn't know we had 60 spy planes.
