Poor ole Canadian pilots bullied by the aggressive Chinese.... Off the coast of China. They were just allegedly helping to blockade out a Chinese ally. Nothing aggressive about that.

Hey, it's international airspace right?
All jokes aside, this is a totally normal response from a functioning country. Only the US would reflexively shoot down shit in international airspace near its boarder. Showing up and doing a bit of hazing is just how pilots pass the time during the routine "hey, go out there and make sure they know we have warplanes in the area" missions.
Also shows that the pilot is well trained and maybe makes the bigger spyplane think twice about pulling anything knowing there's a dude who basically just stalled a fighter 10ft from their wing without losing any stability.
