China Sends Warplanes to Newly Declared Air Zone

November 28th, 2013

Via: BBC:

China has sent warplanes to its newly declared air defence zone in the East China Sea, state media reports.

The vast zone, announced last week, covers territory claimed by China, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea.

China has said all planes transiting the zone must file flight plans and identify themselves, or face “defensive emergency measures”.

But Japan, South Korea and the US have all since flown military aircraft through the area.

The new dispute in an already tense region has raised concerns it could escalate into an unplanned military incident.

    Amazing that the U.S. would openly provoke China when they could collapse the US economy overnight by calling their treasury notes.
