China Establishes "Air-Defense Zone," Includes Islands Claimed By Japan
Japanese lodge complaint
China has demarcated an "air-defence identification zone" over an area of the East China Sea, covering islands that are also claimed by Japan.
China's defence ministry said aircraft entering the zone must obey its rules or face "emergency defensive measures".
The islands, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, are a source of rising tension between the countries.
Japan lodged a strong protest over what it said was an "escalation".

If three square centimeters of bird-poop-covered supposedly "dry" land pokes their heads above the waters for a few hours every year, you can trust yer barnacle-befestered hind end that EVERY Government Almighty (for several hundred nautical miles in every direction) will use it as an excuse to claim ALL of the ocean and its ocean-bottoms and ALL of its critters and resources for a few hundred light-years all around? And they do it in the name of YOU, the Greedy Voter! All ye Nationalists, do ye NOT feel VINDICATED?!?!?
