"I think Taiwan would side with China on this, which would put the Americans in an interesting position."
If they did that they could kiss goodbye to ANY American support they may need in the future.

Japan has added military hardware, and it's also creating a marines-type force to land on islands. With a defence budget of $239 billion, it's not going to be a pushover. Quite honestly, I think it should amend its constitution and rearm.

Any country for any reason can define an ADIZ, and then scramble jets to scrutinize those who do not respond. Yeah it would scare the heck out of aircraft not participating. But no big deal as long as no civilian aircraft or are shot down, and no military aircraft on peaceful missions.
I have defined an ADIZ extending up 1000 feet above my house for a 1 mile radius. So far I have let the few aircraft who have violated my ADIZ with a stern (mental) warning...

Well, if the Chinese shoot down a Japanese civilian liner, the world will be against the Middle Kingdom.

Korean Airlines about 30 years ago? Exactly, except it was shot down by the Soviets. |

WhAt would Obama do if those planes were shot down? He would fire the secretary of HHS to create enough of a diversion that only the public that watches Fox News would know that China shot down the planes. MSNBC would run coverage on how messed up Fox News is for giving coverage to HHS Sec. being fired and applauding it. They'd accuse Fox of being racist, and then they'd go off and make some racist tweets. |

China is well within their rights to covet these tiny little useless island's , China has / have extended their territorial waters 2800 miles into the Pacific ocean so everyone and everything in those boundaries can fell safe and secure .
