From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 3): U.S. urges China not to implement air defense zone
A White House spokesman said Tuesday theU.S. government has urged China not to implement its recently established air defense identification zone over the East China Sea .
"The United States urges China not to implement the ADIZ," Jay Carney, White House press secretary, told reporters, referring to the zone set up over an area including a group of Japan-controlled Senkaku islets that China claims.
Carney also said the United States has asked China "to refrain from taking similar actions elsewhere in the region," apparently referring to a possible plan to establish a similar ADIZ over the South China Sea, where China is involved in territorial disputes with countries such as the Philippines.
