Abstract: | The 2001 “spy” plane incident was probably the most serious military incident in Sino-American relations since the 1970s,
and it generated a crisis in the already brittle relationship since the new Bush administration came into office. This article
attempts to revisit this incident from the Chinese perspective and provides some insight into the understanding of the Chinese
foreign policy behavior and position on Sino-American relations. It presents the respective arguments concerning the responsibilities
of the incident, explores the Chinese historical memory of US hegemonic behavior, and examines the Chinese perspective and
attitude towards the incident and their causes through a study of the reactions of the Chinese government and the Chinese
people to the incident.1
