"The establishment of the East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone is a proper execution of China’s self-defense right. We have informed relevant countries before making the announcement," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said.
"We would like to enhance communication with relevant countries to maintain the regional peace and stability and aviation safety.
"The Chinese government has the determination and capability to safeguard our sovereignty and security. We are also capable of effectively managing the East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone."
China announced the East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone on Saturday. Defense Ministry spokesman Geng Yansheng says the PLA monitored the entire flight of the U.S. aircraft, carried out identification in a timely manner, and ascertained the type of aircraft.
Geng says China will identify every aircraft flying in the air defense identification zone, under the rules published at the weekend. He said China is capable of exercising effective control over airspace in the zone.

ReplyDeleteBEIJING - Japan and South Korea said Thursday they have defied China's newly-declared air defence zone, showing a united front to Beijing after US B-52 bombers did the same.
Chinese authorities are coming under internal pressure to toughen their response to incursions into the air defence identification zone (ADIZ), which it declared unilaterally last weekend.
It includes disputed islands claimed by China, which knows them as the Diaoyus, but controlled by Japan, which calls them the Senkakus.
The move triggered US and Japanese accusations of provocation as global concerns grew.
The Chinese ADIZ requires aircraft to provide their flight plan, declare their nationality and maintain two-way radio communication -- or face "defensive emergency measures".
But Tokyo's well-equipped coastguard said it had flown unopposed in the zone without complying with Beijing's rules, and a report said the country's air force had done the same.
"We've not changed our normal operation of patrolling the area where China declared its defence zone without reporting flight plans," Yasutaka Nonaka, spokesman for Japan's coastguard told AFP. "We've not encountered Chinese jets."
The South Korean military said it encountered no resistance when one of its planes entered the area -- which also overlaps Seoul's ADIZ -- unannounced on Tuesday.............http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asiapacific/japan-south-korea-flout/903154.html
