From an article about Nancy Pelosi's possible visit to Taiwan, I learned about

I'm surprised it did not make headlines at the time, like the time an
American aircraft over international waters was forced to land in China,
enabling the Chinese to study the airplane.

"Dangerously intercepted" and "attacked" are NOT synonyms.
Was that the one where the Chinese fighter "played chicken" with the
American plane and inadvertently (at least the American pilot thought
it was inadvertent though negligent flying) did minor damage and
caused the US plane to land in China (as the nearest point of land)?
