China's air defense zone: The shape of things to come?

I hate to say this, but the author of this OPINION sounds like kowtowing to China because they are strong and crazy and can shoot a ship or an airplane down. When the tone should be one of: we don't agree with you and we are not going to comply and the heck with you, China. Why I say this? Simple. If we kowtow to China today, what will they decide to do tomorrow? Claim Okinawa and Hokkaido? We, the US and Japan and others, must show China that they are not going to be obeyed. Period!
