What was it China said the other day> That they won't stir up trouble with Japan? Their actions would seem to belie their words.

Incusions? Sure, many Chinese military aircraft flying over international waters near the island chain, but legal. Remember, Japan does not own the international waters.

Sfjp330, maybe you can explain why China routinely challenges spy planes flying in international waters? In most cases, very aggressively.

Scrambles against Russian planes rose 45% to 359 times during the year, also a record. As a result, Japan’s total scrambles came to 810 to hit a 24-year high.

Reality is Russian and Chinese planes have flown over international water near Japan Air Zone. On the contrary, US planes filed dangerously over Okinawa and caused many accidents. Japan should scramble any planes flying aggressively on the sky whether it is ally or not.

So what your saying is that it's Ok for U.S. to do it but not the Chinese? Facts are they all do the same thing including the Japanese boats and planes.
