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.
