Chinese surveillance plane breaches Japanese airspace for first time -

A Chinese surveillance plane recently violating Japanese airspace, Chinese coast guard cutters repeatedly ramming and firing water cannons at Philippine ships, and a Chinese fighter dropping flares at an Australian helicopter tell the true story. More backyard bullying and badgering than barbecues and ballgames."
