The countries asserting their sovereignty rights against China’s claims to the SCS are all from Asia. It is simply nonsensical for anyone to argue that the dispute is simply about the US and China

[Chris-oxx]

If a jet from other country is flying within the nine-dashed line，then China has the right to do so

[SayNoNoseBeers]

Didn’t China tell the USA to stay out of the area? So this isn’t surprising when you ignore orders. I’m all for the USA, but let’s not act foolish.

Invaded Chinese airspace (12 nautical miles within the territory) divided by nationality, not the issue of the South China Sea
