Saturday, November 26, 2005 at 07:27 JST NARITA ・Japan Airline and All Nippon Airways airplanes bound for China's Xiamen were not permitted to land at an airport in the Chinese city because of military exercises, Japanese transport ministry said Friday.
JAL Flight 607, with 179 passengers onboard, was forced to return to Narita airport, about six hours after its departure from there, JAL officials said.
Meanwhile, ANA Flight 957, carrying 162 passengers and crew members, left Kansai International Airport in Osaka at about 10:30 a.m. but was informed by Chinese authorities that the plane would not be permitted to land.
The plane then landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, but was later allowed to land in Xiamen. The plane arrived there four hours later than scheduled, ministry officials said.
When runway use is limited, the authorities usually inform airline companies concerned beforehand, but the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said JAL had received no advance notice from China.
Such incidents happen several times a year, according to JAL officials. The passengers on the JAL flight will head to Xiamen on Saturday, they said.
The JAL officials said China has indicated it will not shoulder costs involved in the schedule change.
Hitoshi Takahashi, a passenger who was aboard the JAL plane said, "I thought that China did not tell about that military exercises were being held because of the strained Japan-China relationship."

Was cloning pioneer right to resign? Was Professor Hwang Woo-suk right to resign for using human eggs from his own researchers? Dr Hwang, a South Korean cloning pioneer, apologised for breaking international medical standards that warn against using eggs from researchers who may be vulnerable to pressure. However, the health ministry in Seoul insists that he is was not in violation of ethics guidelines, as the eggs were given voluntarily, without Dr Hwang’s knowledge, and before South Korea introduced a bioethics law in January. What effect will his resignation have on the field of cloning? Should he be allowed to continue his work? Is Dr Hwang guilty of any moral wrongdoing?

Although China hasn't been involved in a lot of wars recently (infact non at all for more than a quarter of a century), WWII and Japs and Korea really showed our desire to defend what we believe in. 85 million dead from 1938-1949. We fought Japs literally to the last man standing even under the distinct technological inferiority and again with Americans.
