Beijing also wants an end to American surveillance flights near the Chinese coast. Zhang quoted lead Chinese negotiator Lu Shimin as saying Beijing hopes to avoid damage to relations from the incident. Outside the U.S. Embassy, a lone protester shouted slogans Thursday against U.S. espionage for a few minutes before police stopped him. The Bush administration has called the collision an accident. It insists the American pilot did not break the law because the plane was flying in international airspace.
China blames the U.S. plane, saying it rammed the Chinese jet.
The pictures showed U.S. fighter jets flying within sight of what Zhang said were Chinese planes. At times the planes came within a few wingspans of each other. At one stage, an American pilot was seen taking a picture from the plane's cockpit. Zhang said the tape was shot last year off the Chinese coast but did not say when or where, or what types of Chinese planes were involved. She also showed a computer simulation showing a plane meant to be the EP-3E turning into the path of the Chinese jet, ending with double impacts between the two.
