William Lowther, US plans more drones for Pacific. Taipei Times, Apr 23, 2011.

Note: The report cites
Bill Gertz, New airspace for drones. Washington Times, Apr 20, 2011 (in the column Inside the Ring).

Gertz's report talks about the Pacific (and N Korea once) but not China.

The report cites

Toshimi KITAZAWA 北泽 俊美. But the report in print is abbridged, with just five paragraphs.

My comment: I saw this yesterday, so that is the date I assign to the report, though its byline and URL indicate Apr 23.
