China claims contested airspace over islands, sets defense zone
Published time: November 24, 2013 03:07
Japan and US are outraged after Beijing has declared eight uninhabited islands at the center of a territorial dispute with Tokyo part of China’s new aerial zone, warning of “defensive emergency measures†if the zone is violated.
Saturdays’ Statement by China’s Defense Ministry says that any Japanese planes in the vicinity of Senkaku/ Diaoyu Islands need to submit their flight patterns to China’s Foreign Ministry or civil aviation administration and they must maintain radio contact with Chinese authorities.
“The Chinese government has followed common international practices in the establishment of the zone, with aims of protecting its state sovereignty and territorial and airspace security, and maintaining flying orders. It is a necessary measure in China's exercise of self-defense rights. It has no particular target and will not affect the freedom of flight in relevant airspace,†China's Defense Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun told Xinhua.
The Chinese Air Force also conducted its first air patrol flights over the islands of the East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone.
"The patrol is in line with international common practices, and the normal flight of international flights will not be affected," Shen Jinke, spokesman for Air Force told Xinhua.

The Chicoms don't do anything at the spur-of-the-moment. This action's been planned for a while now.
Probably since January 2009, when Barry was sworn in (the 2nd time).

Oh, this oughta be good.../sarc

if that one incident with our EP-3 aircraft is any indication of the quality of their pilots then they need to spend less time watching TOP GUN and more time training. If I remember right they were not so hot during The Korean war either.

Without looking, anyone remember the name of the Chinese fighter pilot that caused the midair with our P-3 Orion ?

China is always the big super power in Asia and trying to dominate other Asian nations like Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

That was my thought when I first heard of this. They know king barry is a ****ing ***** and won't stand up to them for doing this.

The Chinese are quick learners. They watched as the boy-king stabbed his European allies in the back. Now they see Barry leaving Israel alone against a soon to be nuclear Iran.
They figure Barry is way too busy on the golf course to help his allies in Japan. They're right. With the debt they hold over our heads, China can do anything it wants.
In three years the world will be in flames and the US will have NO allies left.

I wish I was kidding.

And all they were waiting for was to hear this...
“Today, however, we have made a different choice. The era of the Monroe Doctrine is over. (Applause.) The relationship – that’s worth applauding. That’s not a bad thing. (Applause.) The relationship that we seek and that we have worked hard to foster is not about a United States declaration about how and when it will intervene in the affairs of other American states. It’s about all of our countries viewing one another as equals, sharing responsibilities, cooperating on security issues, and adhering not to doctrine, but to the decisions that we make as partners to advance the values and the interests that we share.â€

...before they launched their plan to seize the airspace over the islands.
Kinda reminds me of Secretary of State Acheson and the strategic Asian Defense Perimeter outlined by circled areas of the globe that America would defend...and Korea was left out of that circle.
