Chuck Hagel Lectures China Over Disputed Islands As He Warns Beijing That America Will Side With Japan In Any Dispute -- Daily Mail
* Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel wagged his finger at the Chinese
* He said they have no right to an air defense zone over disputed islands
* Japan and China both claim islands in East China Sea as theirs
* They are uninhabited but stand over undersea oil reserves
China and America's defense chiefs faced off over a territorial dispute about islands in the East China Sea, with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel wagging his finger at the Chinese and telling them that they don't have the right to unilaterally establish an air defense zone over the islands.
And he said on Tuesday that the U.S will protect Japan in a dispute with China, as laid out in U.S. treaty obligations.
Chinese Defense Minister Chang Wanquan said his country will not take the initiative to stir up troubles with Japan, but Beijing is ready to use its military if needed to safeguard its territory. And he warned that the U.S. must ‘stay vigilant’ against Japan's actions and ‘not be permissive and supportive’ of Tokyo.
