The whole thing should have been kept a secret by the US so that the negotiations could have proceeded without all the complicating public posturing. The Taiwanese, who apparently knew about the incident, could have also gained by agreeing to keep the matter out of the public realm. No face losing or face saving, no demands for apologies, etc., just the stuff or ordinary diplomatic business. Both governments lost a chance to establish a lot of good will between them. Could have been an win-win deal, except for the loss of life, if handled correctly.

John, then how do you explain this? from MSNBC msnbc.com ===================== ZONES OF INFLUENCE So what governs military aircraft? Well, the United States has an air defense identification zone that extends 200 miles off our coast. We require that any foreign military aircraft flying within that zone must report in or risk retaliatory action. In any case, the American government says that Sunday’s collision occurred in international airspace. ================================= And everybody knows, that incidence happened 60-80 miles from China's coast.
