China to Temporarily Close Airspace, Says Taiwan.

China plans to close airspace north of Taiwan for about half an hour next week, down from an originally announced three days, because of a falling object from a satellite launch vehicle, officials in Taiwan and South Korea said. The "no-fly zone" would fall within Taiwan's air defence identification zone (ADIZ), about 85 nautical miles north of its shores. The reports had caused worry in the region with tensions high between China and Taiwan.
