Newsweek: Chinese Warplanes Enter Korea Air Defense Zone Prompting South Korea to Scramble Fighter Jets
South Korean fighter jets made an emergency sortie to escort five Chinese warplanes out of the Korean Air Defense Identification Zone (KADIZ), Seoul’s military said Monday.
The South Korean joint chiefs of staff identified two H-6 bombers, two J-11 fighter jets and one TU-154 reconnaissance plane entering the KADIZ on Monday morning, local media reported, from the area over the Socotra Rock, before flying out three and a half hours later.
“Our fighter planes took normal tactical measures, identifying the models of the Chinese planes and flying aerial surveillance until they left,” the South Korean military said, as quoted by Reuters.

Nothing to see here. .just our dear friends, the Chinese. ..you know. .the guys who sell stuff to north Korea while threatening Australia, Vietnam, Japan, the US, south Korea. ..lol The New normal indeed... and the funny thing is this - it will backfire. Free countries don't accept being bullied. Or alliances will only become stronger. Because once free always free. Something the Chinese will learn over time
Lori, I agree with you.. but I don't understand any moral justification for it. After all, Koreans are at war, why does China think it has the right to get involved and take sides? ESPECIALLY after China has caused some of this conflict and should take blame. For instance, China sold the mobile missile launchers to North Korea... it also sold rocket fuel to North Korea... and it protected North Korea despite its nuclear sanctions violations. If there are no rules in the World, then China is the cause why. Why have rules if China just does whatever it wants? Where is the rule of law? Is South Korea safe? Why do they have to fear China's aggression?
Communist Korean's fought Japan in Korea, Munchuko and Manchuria, allied with the Chinese Communist Party and the PLA from 1921 to 1947. All in all, Communist Koreans contributed over 257,000 soldiers to divisions of the PLA, freed and held Manchuria for the PLA, a critical flank, and fought alongside the PLA until the defeat and withdrawl of the KTM.

"Ownership" of Socotra Rock is disputed between South Korea, China, Japan, while according to UN Conventions, nobody can claim a submurged rock.

things change. Among the many Chinese pow we captured in the Korean war, many wanted to be freed at war's end to return to China and communism; many others, by contrast, wanted to go to Taiwan and avoid communism. Those two elements had many fights, outbreaks in the camps in the islands offshore where we housed them...and, yes, Japan was not a friend to Korea, for sure. But then Japan, Germany, and Italy were our enemies in WWII and now all three are our friends and our former friends, Russia, China, now our enemy, or at least serious competitors
Since China rushed to the aid of N.K., when we were at war there, there is a likelihood they might well repeat that should war break out again
