He said the two sides not in diplomatic dialogue on the matter, concern was expressed by the State Department the United States position has always been to such an event.
Asked about the current US military levels reduce the risk of a miscalculation of how the mechanism would operate, Kirby said, both at the military level, the normal channels of communication, also has been covered more than one level of daily communication.

五角大楼回应中国拦截美军侦察机:不够安全专业|美国防部|五角大楼|美军侦察机_新闻资讯
【环球网报道 记者 李大昕】综合外媒报道，当地时间5月19日，美国国务院及国防部在各自的例行记者会上先后就中国军机在南海上空接近拦截美侦察机一事做出回应，对这一事件表示关切，并强调中方的行为“不够安全和专业”。
美国国务院发言人约翰·柯比在19日的例行记者会上指出，美国务院在该问题上的立场与五角大楼方面一致，对于中方战机“不安全拦截”的行为表示关切。他认为，中方的行为“无益于缓解地区紧张局势，也无益于降低产生将相关人员置于危险境地的误算的可能性”。他表示，目前中美双方就此事尚未展开外交层面的对话，国务院方面所表达的关切是美方对此类事件所持的一贯立场。
在被问及当前中美双方军事层面降低误算风险的机制究竟如何运作时，柯比表示，中美双方在军事层面建立了正常的沟通渠道，也一直进行着涵盖多个级别的日常交流。他强调称，本次事件的问题不在于这个沟通机制有没有被正常起用，而是中方战机的行为“十分不安全，将相关的人员置于危险境地”。
同日，五角大楼发言人彼得·库克在美国国防部的例行记者会上也就这一事件进行了回应。他坚称美方人员的行动是“安全的飞行行为”。他表示，美方军机是在国际空域正常飞行的过程中被两架中方军机以“并非最安全和专业的方式”进行拦截的，五角大楼方面对这一事件表示关切，国防部目前仍在对这一事件进行评估，之后再决定是否将通过“适当方式”予以回应。
在被问及这次美军机在南海上空被拦截是不是给了中国方面美方侵犯其主权的证据时，库克重申，美军可以在国际法允许的任何地方航行、飞行和采取行动，本次事件发生在南海的国际空域，美方“有信心认为”其军机的有关行动是在国际法所允许的范围之内的。
库克在回答记者提问时表示，中美双方自去年就充实和细化《海空相遇安全行为准则谅解备忘录》中两国空军相遇时的行为准则达成一致后，已经收到可观成效，目前尚不能断言此次事件中各方的行为是否与这一行为准则相悖，事件过程仍在评估之中。
对于此前美媒提到的“两国军机相距15米”的说法，库克没有做出正面回应。
有记者追问道，库克此前所指的“适当方式”回应是否意味着美方在南海将更加频繁地开展“航行自由行动”或者情报、监视、侦察(ISR)行动。库克回应称，他所要表达的是，美方会就此类事态通过外交渠道同中方进行适当沟通，但在评估最终得出结论之前，他不会做出假设性的表态。
他随后表示，最近数月以来中美双方一直致力于在军事层面构建互信，并取得了可观的成果，摩擦事件发生的频次也大大降低。本次的军机拦截事态显然在最近一段时间并不多见，但美方目前尚不能断言这是否属于一次偶发的孤立事件。
针对美方称“两架中国飞机在南海拦截美国侦察机”的消息。5月19日上午，国防部新闻局回应《环球时报》问询时表示，我们注意到媒体有关报道，从报道情况看，这很可能与美国军机对华抵近侦察有关。我们将对相关情况进行了解评估。
