Foreign Ministry reax to Seoul's air defence zone announcement

China expressed regret over South Korea's expansion of its Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) and urged careful handling of related matters. China emphasized the importance of communication based on equality and mutual respect. It clarified that an ADIZ is not sovereign airspace but a zone for identification and warning, unrelated to territorial jurisdiction. Both China and South Korea agree that Suyan Reef is not a territorial issue, as it is an isolated underwater reef.

What clarification did China provide regarding the air defense identification zone?

What consensus exists between China and South Korea regarding the issue of the Soviet Reef?
