- China, Japan, and South Korea are consolidating their territorial claims. This includes claims over islands in the East China Sea. They will set up new air defense zones.
- I think they are taking their territorial claims in to a great perspective. To maintain their allotted land, they must take precautions and ensure that it is safe form any outsiders. Countries can be greedy and try to take over the land another country already has.
- This article relates to politics because boundaries and territory are a big part of the government. The government is the one who decides these things in the first place. If this is tried to be changed, great precautions will be taken.
