USA - the big bully on world stage, should consider themselves lucky that China is not Russia, who would shoot down any territorial intruders whether they are private/commercial, governmental/official, and military.
The only time that US surveillance aircraft was forced down was about 10+ years ago inside the airspace of Hainan Island, China. When the US surveillance aircraft refused to land and tried to escape, the Chinese military interceptor was ordered to "sacrifice" by flying into the intruding aircraft. The Chinese pilot parachuted but his body was never recovered.
In recent years, China shot down many US' unmanned aircraft flying over China but both sides chose to keep quiet. It was also reported that China's laser technology was more advanced than USA, that China even "blinded" US' spy satellites on many occasions.
Remember during Eisenhower's presidency, the then USSR shot down an U-2, piloted by a pilot named "Power", USA initially denied it but when USSR produced the captured pilot and debris of the unmarked aircraft , USA apologized? USSR's downing of Korean Airline's commercial jet about 20 years, and more recently an US spy aircraft fled from Russia and took refuge in Iceland when being chased by Russia jets?
Russia doesn't have much bi-lateral economic activities with USA, so will and can take a much tougher stand Vs intruders, China is USA's largest trading partner and "creditors" via buying USA Govt bonds, so China takes a quiet but not necessarily softer stance.
