I am going to write my commentary about the U.S. Government’s response to a recent no fly zone China established. The no fly zone was put in place over some disputed islands located in the East China Sea.  Immediately after the no fly zone was established the U.S. Government flew two unarmed B-2 bomber planes through the disputed area.

It’s a complicated situation because China’s motives aren’t all that clear. It’s thought that a combination of factors have led to China doing this now. The China defense minister believes China has the right to control its air space. However, Japan disagrees with this assertion.

The U.S. Government has made it clear it will not recognize this newly declared air space. Most U.S. officials look at this newly declared air space as a rhetorical statement.  Not only will the United States not recognize the air space, but the U.S. will stand behind its allies in the region.
