US planes challenge China air zone

26 November 2013 Last updated at 17:28 GMT

The US has flown B-52 military aircraft over disputed islands in the East China Sea in defiance of new Chinese air defence rules, officials say.

China set up its air defence identification zone on Saturday.

A US colonel said the planes had followed "normal procedures, which include not filing flight plans, not radioing ahead".

The islands, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, are a source of rising tension between the two nations.

basically you are saying you can't face USAF right now ...
Then what's the need of keeping an air zone if you can't defend it..?

P.S: I'm not supporting US though.. These guys have a habit of putting their legs in others bucket.. :big_boss:

What do you suppose we should do? Hand it over to them?

The US also tried to stop your Nuclear program, this is the same deal, as if we become the most powerful force in east Asia, or if India has the bomb the world will end. Why didn't you guys stop?

Well as it turns out India having the bomb didn't result in anything other than no more wars, and what might you think China being the dominate force in East Asia will result? More tension and conflicts?

And not just one but 2 b-52s flew right over diaoyu islands.

Wait and watch Indians on this forum becoming cheerleaders for the Yanks.

Why would we have to cheer lead Yanks to piss off Chinese, we are doing it all the time and Now we are about to Drill in SCS in Higher number of Blocks.

The fault lies in Chinese attitude of claiming every thing they see.

Pakistanis cheer lead quite often.

Hahaha....Eggxactly.
Nothing just show off. Trying to undermine each other. China tried to do so in case of Japan, US did this do so in case of China.

That's fine, China now doesn't recognize their ADIZ either.

Unfortunately USA ADIZ is far away from chinese borders and whether china recognizes it or not means nothing because it can do nothing about it.This recognition matters plenty because USA can do plenty about it.If a squadron of f-22s patrolled the area china wouldn't be able to do nothing.

Sure, the ADIZ is defined by the naval power of the country.

At the moment, China won't reach its North American ADIZ, but China's aircrafts now keep patrolling the air zone of the Diaoyu Island as the norm, soon it will visit Okinawa as well.

We love to have the tough challenge.
