Instead of postponing Biden’s trip to Beijing to demonstrate disapproval of China’s new ADIZ, the US advised its commercial airlines to respect it, whereas Japan asked its carriers to ignore China’s demand that they file their flight plans through the zone in advance. By calling for Japanese restraint, the US stoked Japan’s anxiety, without winning any concessions from China.
美国并没有取消拜登的北京之行以表明不承认中国新划定的防空识别区，反而建议美国商业航空公司尊重中国的这一举动。而日本要求它的飞机忽视中国关于通过防空识别区的航班预先递交飞行计划的要求。美国要求日本保持克制，这加剧了日本的焦虑，也没有赢得中国的让步。
