Just because you call it an air defense zone doesn’t mean you are prepared to defend it. The US would know if China had radar and defense assets up. They probably didn’t, hence the fly over.
Safe play and good PR from Barack Hussein Chamberlain.

It was Air Defense Identification Zone and did these aircraft ID themselves or not? I’m guessing not.

And don’t forget the US “humanitarian relief” effort in the Philippines which includes 1 aircraft carrier, 2 cruisers, 2 destroyers and 2 supply ships........
