There was an article in The Washington Post that implied that these type of spy missions
go on all the time. This is true as you can see from article by BENDAVID from Chicago Tribune.

I believe the Bush administration reported the incident. If they had not done so, China would not

Problem is China has lost face and the US plane landed without permission on a Chinese
military base so the Chinese need an apology to placate their people.
