China monitored two unarmed U.S. military aircraft that flew through its newly declared air defense zone on Monday without identifying themselves, the Ministry of National Defense said Wednesday.
"The Chinese military conducted monitoring during the entire course and identified the type of U.S. aircraft," said Col. Geng Yansheng, a spokesman for the ministry.
The U.S. Air Force B-52 planes, which were on a training mission, set off Monday from Guam and returned there without incident after spending about an hour in China's claimed air defense identification zone in the East China Sea, according to a U.S. official, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the situation.
