U.S. Flies B-52s in Zone Claimed by China 
------------------------------------------


 
The United States has flown two warplanes over the disputed East China
Sea, defying a recent edict from China. The Chinese government said over
the weekend it must be notified of any flights over part of the small
island chain that is also claimed by Japan. The Pentagon says it flew
two B-52 bombers as part of a previously scheduled exercise. The United
States, Japan and several other governments have rejected China's claim
to an "air defense zone" over the area.
