  • Title: China-Argentina: Us Spy Plane Detained On Hainan Island
  • Date: 8th April 2001
  • Summary: As 24 US aircrew began their second week in detention on April 8, 2001, US diplomats pressed China for unrestricted access while officials from both sides hammered out a joint letter to try to resolve the standoff. But there was still no word on when US officials on Hainan island would be allowed a fourth meeting with the crew of the US Navy spy plane that made an emergency landing there after a collision with a Chinese jet fighter on April 1, 2001. As negotiations on ending the stand off continued, Chinese President Jiang Zemin was out of the country, on a visit to Argentina, the second country on his two-week tour of Latin America.
