South Korea Expands Air Defense Zone To Partially Overlap With China's

[RandySF]

SEOUL, Dec 8 (Reuters) - South Korea said on Sunday it has extended its air defence zone to partially overlap with a similar zone newly declared by China that has spurred regional tensions.

South Korea's Defence Ministry said that in expanding the zone to include two territorial islands to its south and a submerged rock also claimed by Beijing it has fully explained its position to related countries. It said the move would not infringe on neighbouring countries' sovereignty. (Reporting by Jack Kim; Editing by Alex Richardson)

Woohoo! Instead of doing the logical thing of reducing war spending as conflicts draw down, we have a good reason to keep feeding our bloated military!!
