Taking moral high ground a better way to solve Diaoyu islands dispute
I refer to the report "US slams China's 'escalation' over Diaoyus", November 25. China has declared the airspace over Diaoyu Islands to be within its "East China sea air defence identification zone". It said China will take "defensive emergency measures" against aircraft that fail to identify themselves properly or follow its radio instructions.

China has declared the airspace over Diaoyu Islands to be within its "East China sea air defence identification zone". It said China will take "defensive emergency measures" against aircraft that fail to identify themselves properly or follow its radio instructions.
US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel has reminded China that the Diaoyu Islands, known as the Senkaku Islands in Japan, are covered by the 1952 US-Japan security treaty, under which the US is committed to fighting alongside Japan to repel any "common danger".
China has achieved incredible economic progress within the short span of the last 30 years.
It has moved from a backward and poor country to being the second-largest economy in the world.
It has built up and is still building an infrastructure which is the envy of the world.
Its people for the first time in 5,000 years of Chinese history are now able to enjoy a decent living.
