๐จ๐ณ๐บ๐ธ Chinese jet carried out 'aggressive' maneuver near US military plane, Pentagon says
A Chinese fighter jet carried out an "unnecessarily aggressive" maneuver near a US military plane over the South China Sea in international airspace, the United States said on Tuesday.
The US military command said the maneuver by a Chinese J-16 aircraft occurred last week and forced the US RC-135 plane to fly through its wake turbulence.
The spokesperson for China's embassy in Washington, Liu Pengyu, did not comment on the specifics, but said that for a long time, the United States had "frequently deployed aircraft and vessels for close-in reconnaissance on China, which poses a serious danger to Chinaโs national security."

๐ฌ๐ง๐จ๐ณ๐ Rybar touched upon very interesting topic of British neocolonialism in Africa. It says that UKโs investment is focused mainly on 3 spheres which are mining, extraction of resources and financial services. Others of high importance to the region are overlooked because, I guess, there is no profit for British business.
When it comes to Africa, China has a similar approach, but there are some key differences, with the main being that the PRC invest more into infrastructure than the UK. The Asian powerhouse has invested $148 billion in infrastructure and other developments across the continent.
Of course, Chinaโs activity is a subject to criticism, which comes mainly from Britain and the US. Some UKโs officials say that the countries will soon learn the real price of Chinese investment which is showed through environmental breaches, corrupt practices etc.
But does Britain do any good with their investments? At least China builds roads, dams and ports, while the UK only extract resources.

๐บ๐ธ๐จ๐ณ US Defense Secretary Austin says China's meeting snub unfortunate
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Thursday it was "unfortunate" his Chinese counterpart had declined to meet him at an upcoming security forum because they needed to communicate to stop dangerous encounters between military aircraft.
Austin stopped in Tokyo on his way to the annual Shangri-La Dialogue Asian security summit, which starts in Singapore on Friday.
Austin, speaking after a meeting with Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada, said he was concerned that at some point an incident like Tuesday's between a US and Chinese aircraft "could very quickly spiral out of control".

๐ฐ๐ท๐ฐ๐ต South Korea to overhaul emergency alert system after fiasco
The South Korean government will overhaul the country's emergency alert system after an erroneous message tied to North Korea's satellite launch this week led to confusion and complaints.
The warning system will be updated to provide information such as "who, when, where, what, how and why" so as to allow a calm response from the public.
The text message sent to Seoul residents on Wednesday morning was widely criticized for being unhelpful, as it told people to prepare to evacuate without specifying where they should go and what the danger was.

๐ฏ๐ตโก๏ธ๐ฐ๐ต A NOTAM warning has been posted for airspaces near/around the Japanese islands of NAHA-SHI, MIYAKOJIMA, ISHIGAKIJIMA & YONAGUNIJIMA due to the possibility of the usage of antiballistic missiles to intercept a rocket (satellite) launched from North Korea. It is only active from May 30th to June 10th, but this could change based on when North Korea launches their second satellite rocket.
Japan deployed PAC-3 systems onto those islands and have sent Aegis-equipped destroyers on a heightened-readiness patrol there too.
