However, examining China's use of its ADIZ the way its treatment of those of Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan has evolved over the past seven years reveals that China's East China Sea ADIZ has effectively given China new latitude to extend its influence in Northeast Asia. Since 2013, China has committed more than 4,400 intrusions into the ADIZs of Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Often, Chinese forces violate multiple countries' ADIZs on their flights, flying routes that consecutively transgress South Korea's and Japan's ADIZs or Taiwan's and Japan's. While each country has so far managed the issue in its own way by scrambling jets, discussing the issue with China in bilateral meetings, and publicizing some information about the intrusions, the issue has become a regional one impacting all three countries. This report uses data gathered from multilingual sources to explore China's motivations behind these intrusions as well as the implications for Japanese, South Korean, Taiwanese, and U.S. forces operating in Northeast Asia Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 55-62) Notes Online resource; title from PDF cover page (FAS, viewed August 12, 2021) Subject Air defense identification zones -- Japan Air defense identification zones -- Korea (South) Air defense identification zones -- Taiwan Air defense identification zones -- Government policy -- China Air defense identification zones -- Strategic aspects Security, International -- East Asia Air defense identification zones.
