China says it is on alert after Japan dispatched fighter jets over the East China Sea.

Japanese media report Japan sent F15 fighter aircraft after detecting a Chinese marine surveillance plane in disputed airspace near contested islands in the East China Sea.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters Tuesday Beijing will pay close attention to Japan's decision to dispatch fighter jets. She said China's surveillance plane was conducting routine patrols at the time.

"As far as I know, China's marine surveillance plane you mentioned has been conducting routine patrols in airspace over the East China Sea," Hua said. "The Chinese side is highly concerned with and alert to Japan sending the air self-defense force jets."

These to world rivals will be going at it instead of logically settling their complains in court. I guess this current generation is not ready to solve their case in court and plan to fight to the last man?

After the USA gets out of its current war it will be ready for another fight. This time the army will not be so involved fighting over little islands that may have fights in other areas we have no reason to be fighting.
This is the happy fighting world of the GOP.
