The USA has told its airlines to file their flight-plans with the Chinese military when flying through its new air defence zone, after even Japan had the spine to tell its airlines to ignore China.

The US government has said it expects all American airlines to abide by Chinese government’s requirements

However, the US oddly maintains that officially ordering its carriers to obey China’s requirements in the zone does not mean it “accepts China’s requirements” for the area.

Various American airlines are reportedly either already submitting flight plans to China where they pass over the zone, or have indicated they will be doing so.

Despite all this, America, Japan and South Korea have all made unannounced military flights in the area, prompting China to scramble its own jets.
