On 1 April 2001, during George W. Bush's Presidency (January 20, 2001 – January 20, 2009), we had the Hainan Island Incident where overly aggressive action by a Chinese J-8 interceptor (PRC) resulted in the emergency landing of a US Navy EP-3D Aries II in the island. Twenty-four US service members were detained and interrogated. They were released ten-days of after diplomatic maneuvering.
Maybe they were testing "W". But, these things happen for so many reasons.
