That I think has more to do with the downing of F117 a month prior. I'm thinking the Chinese bought some secret parts, and the Americans made a last ditch attempt to prevent the Chinese from obtaining some tech.

- Miraste 5y agoThe F-117 was shot down in Yugoslavia. China acquired quite a few parts from it, ran into difficulties getting them out of the country, and stored them temporarily at the embassy in Belgrade as their base of operations. Chinese papers have published that part. The US denies the bombing was on purpose, but admitted in a Congressional hearing that it was the only bombing in the campaign directed by the CIA. The "wrong map" reasoning seems a little thin at that point.
