US does not recognise China air defence zone: White House

December 06, 2013 02:27

The United States does not recognise the recently declared air defence identification zone by China in the East China Sea, the White House said today adding that such a Chinese move is provocative and dangerous in such a sensitive region.

The strong White House statement came even as Vice President Joe Biden concluded his trip to China, indicating that the latter's effort to convince the Chinese leadership on this issue did not yield much result.

As such, the United States would continue to defy the Chinese move and fly its military planes in ADIZ as usual, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters.

"We, the United States, do not recognise it, and we do not accept it, and it will not change how the US conducts military operations in the region," Carney said in response to a question.
