US Navy warns China ‘You don’t want to play laser tag with us’ after Chinese destroyer shoots laser at US plane

The U.S. Navy offered China a warning after a Feb. 17 incident in which China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy pointed a laser beam at a U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon and endangered its crew.

In an Instagram post Friday, the U.S. Navy referenced the recent laser incident, which it described as “unsafe and unprofessional” and which violated a 2014 agreement between the U.S. and China to regulate encounters at sea. The U.S. Navy’s social media post came with the warning, “You don’t want to play laser tag with us.”
