There's a lot of noise by professional and hobby firebrands who want to prop up mainland China as the new evil empire or something, but the ADIZ (air defence identification zone) story is rather not newsworthy. I can tell it's rather not newsworthy because the Japanese did the same a few years ago and few news organizations did deem it newsworthy.
Here's a map; now figure out yourself whether this ADIZ makes mainland China look more aggressive than Japan:

ReplyDeleteThat is why US propaganda ( called MSM ) will never ever show it.

It is only the beggining of a struggle which will define the first half of the 21st century.
We will have plenty of time and opportunity to discuss the issue in the following years.
