But as you can see from the pic, USAF scrambled its jets and escorted the Russian Bomber out of its ADIZ.
What did China do?
I have a feeling there is more to this than meets the eye.
CPC uses clever tactics for strategic gain. They did it with the island dispute with the Philippines and the Diaoyu island dispute with Japan. Japan used to monitor the islands and kicked out Chinese vessels all the time but now our vessels freely roam around the Diaoyu Islands. That shows we have changed the status quo and strategically gained.
The CPC would have known that the US would do such a thing knowing even Russia does this to the US ADIZ.
It might be aimed at the Chinese people to show the US is the enemy (since many liberals still have pro-US views) by invading Chinese ADIZ.
It could be to justify higher military spending within the CPC or to externally justify China's military buildup since others violate our ADIZ we are justified in our military buildup.
It could be a way for Chinese aircraft to disregard the ADIZ of Japan and the US seeing as the US and Japan disregard China's ADIZ. We can say, you don't respect our ADIZ so we don't respect your ADIZ.
It could be to show how silly the ADIZ is when no country can really stop anyone from entering the ADIZ and identifying them.
Believe me, the CPC won't do such a thing if they didn't have an end goal in mind for establishing this ADIZ. China's goals might be different from what the US and Japan perceives.
This ADIZ was only established only a couple of days ago, so maybe in the future we will actually send fighters to intercept aircraft entering the ADIZ. Who knows.
I think we have to wait and see what the actual goal was of this and how things pan out. It might not be able simple as many people think. This is a strategic game being played out between China, Japan and the US. The US 'pivot' to Asia got the game started.
,more like if PLAAF had bothered with it, next time the USAF bombers would fly into the so called "Chinese ADIZ" with fighter escorts.
