Biden says China's airspace zone has caused apprehension
By Michael Martina BEIJING (Reuters) - China's new air defense identification zone over the East China Sea has caused "significant" unease in the region, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said on Thursday, adding he had stated Washington's firm objection to the move during talks in Beijing. Biden had around five hours of discussions with President Xi Jinping on Wednesday, with both leaders laying out their perspective on an issue that has rattled East Asia. In response, China's Foreign Ministry said Biden had been told the zone accorded with international law and that the United States should respect it.
