BREAKING: Second Time China Sends Fighter Jets To Chase U.S. and Japanese Military Planes.

China sends warplanes and China media urges countermeasures against Japan planes.

Much thanks for pin!

The Chinese media is notoriously anti-Japanese.

2 unidentified planes not squawking currently in the No-Fly Zone.

Go kill the Brutals!

This is 2 japanese civilians flights

I do not like this at all, China gives me the hebejebes, I'm hoping things calm down because this is just plain giving me goosebumps.

lol china

they didn't blink, all American airlines have to follow the authorities of the countries they are approaching due to safety afaik

I'm guessing it's to do with lawsuits actually, avoiding them specifically.

So why has DC made such a sing and dance over this zone, and specifically referred to it if it's general procedure? Feels like they're filling their pants.

(South China Morning Post) Chinese military aircraft were scrambled yesterday after US and Japanese planes flew into the mainland’s new air defence identification zone.

Earlier, South Korea announced plans to include a tiny island contested with China under its own air defence zone, potentially raising the diplomatic temperature further.

PLA Air Force spokesman Shen Jianke said the air force ordered Su-30 and Qian-11 planes to verify the identity of the aircraft inside the zone yesterday morning.

Isn't Biden going to Communist China?
He will save the day.

Built right on time to join the frey

In declaring China’s ADIZ, the Xi leadership apparently counted on being able to put pressure on the US-Japan alliance and isolate Japan.

The Chinese air force yesterday scrambled Su-30 and J-11 fighter jets after a dozen American and Japanese military aircraft entered the air defence identification zone (ADIZ) proclaimed by Beijing last weekend in the East China Sea.

The incident is the first direct Chinese reaction to a US or Japanese incursion and heightens the danger of a miscalculation leading to a clash and conflict.

Having declared the ADIZ, which overlaps with Japan’s own ADIZ and provocatively includes the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu islands, the Chinese government has come under pressure from hawkish sections of the ruling elite not to back away.

That carrier and its escorts just finished Philippine relief duties, and were on that direction anyway, this is not a new deployment, that carrier was in Hong Kong befor the typhoon. Not being a dick Doorbert, just clarifying. no doom on this.

are you the guy from Japan

Had I of been in one of them Chinese planes I would have put a bulls eye on some back sides up there. The heck with chasing them show them who the hell is boss.

WASHINGTON -- U.S. drones are heading to the Senkaku Islands.

Japan and the U.S. will step up joint warning and surveillance activities over the islands in Okinawa and other parts of the East China Sea. The U.S. military's Global Hawk unmanned spy planes will be heavily involved in these activities around the islands known as Diaoyu in China.

The increased joint activities, which will also involve the Japan Self-Defense Force's E-2C early warning aircraft, are to reduce the risk of accidental clashes amid heightened tensions.

Understood thanks.

I am keeping an eye on the USS Nimitz. Currently in the Pacific. Will see if it makes a turn toward Japan.

Nimitz return to base.

U.S. advises airlines to comply with China air zone demands

BEIJING —

The United States on Saturday advised U.S. carriers to comply with China’s demand that it be told of any flights passing through its new maritime air defense zone over the East China Sea, an area where Beijing said it launched two fighter planes to investigate a dozen American and Japanese reconnaissance and military flights.

It was the first time since proclaiming the zone on Nov 23 that China said it sent planes there on the same day as foreign military flights, although it said it merely identified the foreign planes and took no further action.

Watch for a scattering Doorbert, not a deployment, Navy SOP is to disperse the fleets,when an actual fight is coming, If PH and San Diego empty out, youll know then, Jap Navy is the same deal, if they all are sent out into blue water, somethings up.

sorry to piss on that fire the US hasn't blinked at all...

Yeah they are different Islands to those being disputed by Japan

Spratly Islands, Paracel Islands, Pratas Islands, Macclesfield Bank, Scarborough Shoal are in the South China Sea

East china sea...

Senkaku Islands AKA Diaoyu Islands and some others are the ones that are the ones in the news recently...

the ones in the south china sea are the ones claimed by People's Republic of China, the Republic of China, and Vietnam, with Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines

Two Battles in WWII taught the US and Japanese Navies a lesson, Pearl Harbor, taught the US not to remain in port, and Midway taught the Japanese not to group carriers together as a defensive measure, "Task Force" groups are only used when concentrated offense is needed with little defensive issues.

Yes, but what about the lesson China learned? That you can't trust either one of them?

China launched two fighter planes Friday to investigate flights by a dozen U.S. and Japanese reconnaissance and military planes in its newly established maritime air defense zone over the East China Sea, state media said.

The state-run China News quoted Defense Ministry spokesman Col. Shen Jinke as saying the Chinese fighter jets identified and monitored the two U.S. and 10 Japanese aircraft during their flights through the zone early Friday, but made no mention of any further action.
