Japan and the US are continuing to disregard Beijings demands that aircraft submit flight plans when traversing the zone in the East China Sea or face unspecified defensive emergency measures. Several combat aircraft were scrambled to verify the identities of US and Japanese aircraft entering the air defence zone, the official Xinhua news agency said, quoting air force spokesman Shen Jinke. The Chinese aircraft, which included at least two fighter jets, identified two US surveillance aircraft and 10 Japanese aircraft including an F-15 warplane, Shen said.
