　　据CNN今天中午的消息，美国一架B-1B轰炸机在中国东海进入中国防空识别区，遭到中方警告驱离。

　　据CNN报道，美国一架B-1B轰炸机从关岛空军基地起飞前往韩国执行任务，飞至距韩国济州岛西南方向70海里处。据CNN消 息，这架 轰炸机收到来自中方的警告，称飞机已经进入中国空域，要求其离开。

　　美国太平洋空军司令部发言人表示，美方飞行员对中方航管中心进行了回应，称他们正在国际空 域执行日常任 务，并没有偏离预定的飞行航线。

　　CNN在报道中还称，美军轰炸机进入了中国东海的防空识别区，韩国和日本都与中国在这一区 域存在争议。 美国也不承认中国在2013年11月设立东海防空识别区。

　　去年美国一则报告曾指出，中国并没有完全执行东海防空识别区。报告称，中国可能根本无意真 正实施东海防 空识别区，宣布设立防空识别区是意图表达对于日本的立场和态度。

　　对此，外交部发言人华春莹23日在例行记者会上表示，她并不了解此事的具体情况，但有关国 家的行事需要 考虑到地区内国家的安全关切，并有利于国家间的互信与和平。“至于东海防空识别区，此前我们已 阐明了立场。 美国自己也有防空识别区，他们应该尊重中国防空识别区的权利。”

China’s People’s Liberation Army is not warmly embracing a US Air Force B-1 Bomber flying through international airspace over the East China Sea.

The PLA put the US on notice Wednesday after issuing a warning to the Pentagon for sending a military aircraft over the disputed East China Sea, a pair of US officials told Fox News. The East China Sea is bordered by Shanghai to the west, South Korea to the North, and Japan to the east. A US military official confirmed the presence of the B-1 near South Korea while corroborating the report that Chinese officials let the US Air Force know that Beijing was not pleased with the mission.

Two B-1s were supposed to embark on a patrol mission in the wake of North Korea’s most recent ballistic missile launch, which reportedly failed. Only one took off, since the other needed to undergo maintenance work, Fox reports. The US and South Korea have been conducting annual military drills, dubbed Foal Eagle, which could have been the reason for the B-1’s trip, as opposed to patrolling North Korea’s missile preparations.

The Chinese took to an emergency radio frequency called "guard" to communicate with the US air crews, Fox said. The PLA told US pilots that they were flying in Chinese airspace, which they said was illegal, according to a CNN report. The Fox report offered a different approach, stating that the Chinese said the bomber was in international airspace. The B-1 continued on its mission unphased, Fox said. The warplane was identified by China 70 nautical miles south from South Korea’s Jeju Island.

Meanwhile, Defense Secretary James Mattis, along with Joe Dunford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will make an appearance on Capitol Hill Wednesday to discuss Trump’s proposed defense budget hike. United Nations analysts have noted that “more than military spending” alone is needed to cut out the root causes of terrorism, which could be done with greater investments into initiatives like peacebuilding, conflict resolution, and sustainable economic development. The US has spent between $4 to $6 trillion in the Middle East since the invasion of Iraq, according to researchers at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Washington appears eager to throw more money at the military despite nearly $20 trillion in outstanding debt obligations.

US B-1 bomber based in Guam was flying to South Korea for training mission
The US does not recognize Beijing's claims to the region's airspace

Washington (CNN)Chinese officials warned a US military aircraft flying near South Korea Sunday, telling its pilots that they were illegally operating in Chinese airspace and ordering the American plane to leave, a US defense official told CNN.
The pilots of the US Air Force B-1B Lancer bomber responded to the Chinese air traffic controllers, saying that they were conducting routine operations in international airspace and did not deviate from their flight path, according to US Pacific Air Forces spokesman Maj. Phil Ventura.

The bombers had entered a controversial Chinese Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the East China Sea, which covers a disputed island chain and overlaps with airspace claimed by Japan and South Korea.
The ADIZ declaration required airlines flying over the designated waters to first notify Chinese authorities before transiting. The US and Japanese governments do not recognize China's claim on the area.
"Pacific Air Forces ... did not recognize the Chinese Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) when it was announced in November of 2013, and does not recognize it today," Ventura told CNN.
"The ADIZ has not changed our operations."
China established the zone despite objections from Tokyo and Washington. A US report from last year suggested that it was not being fully enforced.
Tensions have flared numerous times over the Senkaku Islands, which China calls Diaoyu Islands, including face-offs between Japanese and Chinese warplanes and ships.
The US plane was flying 70 nautical miles southwest of South Korea's Jeju Island.

According to the US Air Force, the Guam-based B-1 bomber was conducting a series of training missions with Japanese and South Korean military aircraft.
"Our increased cooperation enables our combined forces to rapidly react to counter aggression against Japan and other allies and partners," said US Maj. Ryan Simpson, the Pacific Air Forces bomber operations chief, in a statement announcing the training mission.
