South Korea Claims Chinese Airpsace

Yonhap_E

South Korea has again joined the nations challenging China’s new air defence zone, this time by enlarging its own zone to cover China’s after it emerged it had forgotten to include some of its claims in its old zone and claimed by China.

South Korea’s new zone covers more of the waters between it and China, and comes into effect on the 15th of December.

Ieodo rock, which is not even above water, has long been claimed by South Korea but was omitted from the previously extant air defence zone.

China’s new air defence zone, most notable for now extending over the Japan-controlled Senkaku islands, also extended over Ieodo, prompting much anger in Korea.
