ULAANBAATAR (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Sunday the United States would consider any Chinese establishment of an air defense zone over the South China Sea to be a "provocative and destabilizing act".
U.S. officials have expressed concern that an international court ruling expected in coming weeks on a case brought by the Philippines against China over its South China Sea claims could prompt Beijing to declare an air defense identification zone, or ADIZ, as it did over the East China Sea in 2013.
"We would consider an ADIZ...over portions of the South China Sea as a provocative and destabilizing act which would automatically raise tensions and call into serious question China's commitment to diplomatically manage the territorial disputes of the South China Sea," Kerry said during a visit to Mongolia.
"So we urge China not to move unilaterally in ways that are provocative."

The USS George Washington Battle Group sailed to within 120 miles of Beijing while running 7x24 flight operations.
No Chinese aircraft came out to play.
Still, we'll have to display 7x24 operations in their claimed South China Sea territory until such time as they realize there's nothing they can do about it.
If they do not, we just might have to ...
...um...
Urge them again, AND at that time, we just might say "pretty please".
Such are the fruits of the president being a weak, pansy-a$$ed gay boy interested in only domestic rabble-rousing, with foreign policy being leased out to a bunch of know-nothing women.
we do have a problem internationally because almost nobody anywhere has any respect for Obama/Kerry/Hillary.etc
they may laugh at them, they may cry about them, but they definitely do not respect or trust them
so they pursue their own courses, their own self-interest... and the world suffers
John Kerry. Spit.
So all you got is harsh words there, youy horsefaced gigolo ketchup boy?
The ChiComs laugh at Gigolo Boy....
Yeah, “tough” words from John (I served in Vietnam) Kerry....
LOL
"....he so funny"
I bet they are scared now.
Ping
Bet the chicoms are shaking in their boots now. Mr Heinz and soebarkah will send the “trans navy” after ‘em/sarc
He was in UlanBator when he said these strong words.
He sounded like Klatuu Barack Nikto but that guy packed a punch, not a paunch.
Funny.
Sec Kerry also said the climate change was the world’s greatest threat, and we must destroy the United States economy to reduce global CO2 levels that “might” prevent “0.02 %” of the global temperature rise that climate change that “might” raise sea levels 1/2 inch that might sink the artificial islands in the South China Sea that China raised to establish these air ports and “permanent carriers” that China is using to dominate the oil-bearing sands under the south china sea that china wants ...
Just another American enemy living amongst us
“Strongly worded letter to follow”...
Only a pig, a sexual deviant, an incestrial swine, allows his daughter to parade around like this in public.
Kerry is a pig it is no wonder he bows to obama.
Another example of Obama leading from behind...
Too late and nothing but empty weak words to back it up...
Basically Kerry is playing an idiot's game so the administration can say...
"We warned them, but they ignored us "
