WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department is advising U.S. air carriers abroad to comply with China’s demand that it be told of any flights passing through its new maritime air defense zone over the East China Sea.

Last week China declared that all aircraft entering the zone must notify Chinese authorities beforehand, and warned that it would take unspecified defensive measures against those that don’t comply.
