The warning comes after a Chinese warship forced a US naval destroyer to take evasive action to avoid a collision and a Chinese fighter jet flew directly across the path of a US warplane.

The National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said that these incidents are part of an increasing level of aggressiveness by China's military.
