Every nation has a right to establish air defense zones, but not a right to do it unilaterally, with no collaboration, no consultation. That adds to tensions, misunderstandings, and could eventually add to, and eventually get to, dangerous conflict.

　　Chinas Defense Minister strongly disagreed with the Defense Secretary. General Chang Wanquan noted that territorial issues are very important to his country. He said China would not incite Japan to action, but is prepared to protect its territory. In his words, on this issue, we will make no compromise, no concession, no trading, not even a tiny bit of violation is allowed.

　　This was the third time that Defense Minister Chang and Secretary Hagel have met since they each took office.

　　This week, Secretary Hagel made a visit to Chinas National Defense University. He spoke about the need for openness as a way to avoid misunderstandings. One officer accused the United States of taking sides in Asia as a way to incite tensions and block the rise of Chinas military. The United States denies it wants to contain China.

　　Jonathan Pollack is with the Brookings Institution, a Washington-based research group. He says U.S. officials have taken a somewhat harder line in how they deal with issues of importance to Asia.

　　Secretary Hagel ended his 10-day trip to Asia with a visit to Chinas neighbor, Mongolia. He signed a new deal to provide more military training and assistance to Mongolia. The U.S. currently provides about $3 million in military sales and training to the country.
