China 'monitored' US bombers in new air zone
China monitored the flight of two US bombers that flew across its newly-declared "air defence identification zone", its defence ministry said.
The B-52 planes flew over disputed islands in the East China Sea on Tuesday without announcing themselves, defying new Chinese air defence rules.

"China's air force monitored the entire course (of the US bombers), identified them in a timely way, and ascertained the type of US aircraft," the statement said.
"China will identify all aircraft activity in East China Sea Air Defence Identification Zone", it added. "China has the ability to effectively manage and control the relevant air zone."
