On Friday's broadcast of NewsNation's "Morning In America," Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder reacted to Chinese fighter jets buzzing American jets in international airspace over the Pacific Ocean by stating that the incident is part of "a pattern of behavior we've seen from the PRC" and that we're "continuing to work very closely with our allies and partners throughout the region to send that message of deterrence to China." And will "continue to ensure that we keep those lines of communication open to prevent a potential miscalculation between our two countries."
