China rejects US claims pilot to blame for spy plane crash
China is sticking rigidly to its account of the mid-air collision which sparked the spy plane stand-off.
It rejects the increasingly forceful American claims that a Chinese pilot was to blame.
Beijing refuses to budge from its position that the US spy plane rammed into its fighter jet 14 days ago.
The Chinese Foreign ministry has accused some high-level US officials of making irresponsible remarks about the incident, saying such statements do not conform to the facts.
Washington blames the collision on missing Chinese pilot Wang Wei.
Efforts to find Wang have finally been called off.
The two sides meet in Beijing next week to discuss events leading up to the incident.
