China says it scrambled fighter jets to monitor US and Japanese planes as they flew in its newly declared air defence zone in the East China Sea on Friday.

The zone covers territory claimed by China, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea.

China said last week that all aircraft crossing through the zone must file flight plans and identify themselves or face "defensive emergency measures".

The US, Japan and South Korea say they have since defied the ruling and flown military aircraft in the area.

But I thought EastAsia was always our enemy. I’ll turn myself in immediately at the nearest re-education center.

Why this crisis, why at this time, and who will profit from the international attention it is attracting?

“NOTHING happens by chance. If it happened, you can bet it was planned well in advance.

- Winston Churchill

Any American aircraft near there should contain Bill Kristol and Michelle Obama.
