These buggers are just trying to fuel tensions. Like I said before, anyone who thinks that China screwed up big time by announcing the ADIZ obviously knows nuts about geopolitical strategy, and that goes for most Western analysts.
The Chinese are not stupid; they've definitely calculated that the US would want to test the zone, and that's one of the scenarios they would have prepared for, and probably exactly what they wanted.
By testing the no-fly zone, the US (& Japan) has fallen into China's trap:
1. The Chinese can now 'scramble' their jets and fly all over their proclaimed ADIZ, including the airspace over the Diaoyutai, justifying it on the basis that their airspace has been 'invaded' and they need to 'monitor' it aggressively;
2. Japan has been expanding their own ADIZ steadily westwards since America drew it up for them in the '50s. Now the Chinese can simply conduct combined aerial and naval manoeuvres in Japan's ADIZ with impunity, again justifying that 'you fly into my ADIZ, I didn't intercept you; now I fly into yours, you'd better lan lan and keep quiet".
When the entire commercial carrier fraternity eventually chooses to report to Beijing whenever they fly into the zone, it will be a de facto international recognition of Beijing's air boundaries, even if international law doesn't cover ADIZ's.
Win-win-win.
the nuclear holocaust clock should be turned to 2 mins to midnight after China's provocative action.

Why not just pay the mongol hordes to decimate china? They will attack from the rear where it is not protected.
Western countries are still in debt. What war are they going to fight? They own China big time
Owe or own China?
You are wrong, the top CCP party cadres are sending their ill-accumulated money out of China into the West, they have no stomach for war.
