FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Obama administration officials said the decision to advise civilian aircraft to notify Chinese authorities when traveling through the air-defense zone was a precautionary measure to avoid miscommunications that could lead to violence.
“We … are advising for safety reasons that they comply with notices to airmen, which FAA always advises,” an official said, referring to the Federal Aviation Administration.
But US officials said this has no effect on the US position that the Chinese defense zone covering territory claimed by China, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea is illegitimate.
They insist that US military flights will continue to travel through the zone without notice to China.
The US state department has slammed China’s move as “an attempt to unilaterally change the status quo in the East China Sea” which will “raise regional tensions and increase the risk of miscalculation, confrontation and accidents.”
Secretary of State John Kerry also characterized the defense zone as an “escalatory action (that) will only increase tensions in the region and create risks of an incident.”
China flew warplanes into the area on Friday to monitor American and Japanese aircraft flying there. The move came after two US B-52 bombers transited the zone earlier this week without informing Chinese authorities.
Japan and South Korea also defied the no-fly zone this week without informing Beijing.
US Vice President Joe Biden is due to visit China, Japan and South Korea next week, and will try to ease tensions over the issue.
