China sends warplanes to air zone
China has sent warplanes to its newly declared air defence
zone in the East China Sea, state media reports. China has said all planes
transiting the zone must file flight plans and identify themselves, or face
"defensive emergency measures".But Japan, South Korea and the US have
all since flown military aircraft through the area. China's state news agency
Xinhua quoted air force spokesman Col Shen Jinke as saying several fighter jets
and an early warning aircraft had been deployed to carry out routine patrols as
"a defensive measure and in line with international common
practices".He said the country's air force would remain on high alert and
would take measures to deal with all air threats to protect national security.
