U.S. bombers challenged China's recently established Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the East China Sea, according to the Wall Street Journal.

In a report citing U.S. defense officials, the WSJ said that American B-52 bombers flew over the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands on Monday without informing Beijing ahead of time. The report said that the bombers took off from Anderson Air Force Base in Guam and entered into China's new ADIZ around 7 PM local time on Monday. They were not armed or accompanied by any escort planes.

America maintained that the B-52s flight was part of a long-planned exercise called Coral Lightning.

Still, the flight represented a clear challenge to China, which announced it was establishing an East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) on Saturday morning. It later said that Chinese planes had begun patrolling the area.

A pic of PLAAF bomber dropping ordnance (unarmed dumb bombs?) in the ocean - - what does that prove?
And they were fly over Diaoyu island(the 3rd pic).

If those B-52s really did fly over Diaoyu island, take a picture is not a hard task for them.

Simple Question: Did B-52's voilated Chinese ADZ or not ??

Please answer in yes or no...
Yes! But they ran away quickly, we can not shoot them at outside of ADIZ.

Good Answer, Why didn't you warn them while they were approaching the ADZ ??

South China Sea ADIZ is much much more important for China. Resources at that area is enough for China to consume for the next 100 years.
Who told you that SCS consists of resources??

There are predictions, until now no major oil discovery has been done. This is just Han hegemony out of foolishness.
