China planning to close airspace for brief period, Taiwan says
for about half an hour next week, down from an originally announced three days, because of a falling object from a satellite launch vehicle, officials in Taiwan and South Korea said.
An ADIZ is a section of international airspace countries can arbitrarily define as theirs to monitor.With no details initially on the duration of the closing, the reports had caused worry in the region with tensions high between China and Taiwan.Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said he was unaware of the situation.
When China imposed such restrictions during military drills last August, there were significant disruptions to flights in the region, with some aircraft required to carry extra fuel, according to OPSGROUP, an aviation industry cooperative that advises on flight risks. Tsai said the overseas trip, which included the meeting with McCarthy in the U.S. and stops in Guatemala and Belize, showed the world Taiwan’s determination to defend freedom and democracy.
