And China has many satellites that are not in the news, but violating sovereign airspace Matters regardless of whether or not it materially matters.

Violating sovereign airspace matters to the US only when it's done to the US. Because to the US, the US is the only sovereign country in the world. All the others can and should get routinely violated by US planes, if you believe US media. So yeah, get out of here.

This is US news, in a U.S. newspaper, on a US site, in English.

I think sometimes people complain that something isn’t news it’s just US news, while they’re on US channels populated or run by US folks. And you know, what do you expect?

That's not their point. The US routinely violates various nation's airspace. Hell, what do you think the odds are the US is currently violating Chinese airspace in some capacity? Depending on who's definition of Chinese airspace you use, it's pretty damn likely.

How does the statement "The US violates routinely sovereign airspace" make the point that "China violating US airspace" is not newsworthy? If China routinely violated sovereign (US) airspace it wouldn't be newsworthy!

> but violating sovereign airspace Matters regardless of whether or not it materially matters.

So it always matters, but it's frequency determines whether it's newsworthy? I don't understand that position.
