Unesco officials have given a nod to traditional japanese cuisine and added it to their list of intangible Cultural Heritage. The u. S. Defense secretary says the biggest concern for washington is how china declared its air defense identification zone. Chuck hagel said other countries should have been consulted on it first. Its not that the aid itself is new or unique. The biggest concern we have is how it was done so unilaterally and so immediately without any consultation. Last month Chinese Defense officials said all foreign aircraft traveling through the zone must get pry or notice and follow orders or face emergency measures. Hagel said the declaration was not a wise decision. Joint chief Martin Dempsey said the requirements did not conform to international norms. It wasnt the declaration of the aid that was destabilizing, it was their assertion that they would require all aircraft to report regardless of whether they were intending to enter into the Sovereign Aerospace of china.
