US bombers challenge China air zone
The US has flown two B-52 bombers 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
insisting that aircraft obey its rules or face "emergency defensive
measures".A Pentagon spokesman said the planes had followed "normal
procedures".The islands, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China,
are a source of rising tension between the two nations.
