#2 China’s defense ministry is yet to respond to the possible intrusion of China’s air defense zone and it is unclear if Chinese radar was triggered or Chinese aircraft conducted an interception.

The heavy breathing is a bit much. This is the kind of thing Russians have been doing for ages, much closer to the US coastline. The difference with the Chinese is that they actually claim the area within the ADIZ as their airspace, in stark contrast to every other country in the world. That is why US planes fly within that airspace - to point this out to them.
