China's ADIZ is justified

By Xing Hongbo | China Daily | Updated: 2013-11-29 07:02

Other countries should reflect on their own behavior, drop their double standards and respect international norms

China's establishment of the East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone and the announcement of aircraft identification rules for the zone have received a mixed response over the past few days. Although the majority of foreign airlines and civil aviation officials from other countries have said they will abide by the rules, some countries that have had a head start in establishing their own air defense identification zones are being the pot that calls the kettle black.

Not content with thinly disguising itself as an onlooker in East Asian issues, Washington has gone from badmouthing China to deliberately challenging the rules by sending a pair of B-52 bombers into China's newly established identification zone without informing China of the flight. Aircraft from the Republic of Korea and Japan followed suit on Thursday. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe even said that China's move is a dangerous act that might invite an "unexpected situation" and urged China to scrap its plan.
