South Korea will confirm this week an expansion of its air defense identification zone in the East China Sea as a response to China’s expansion of its zone, Yonhap News Agency reported.

Seoul will notify neighboring countries of the details this week before making a formal announcement, government officials said.

The timing coincides with U.S. Vice President Joe Biden’s upcoming visit to South Korea during his weeklong trip to northeast Asia. Biden was in Japan Tuesday, December 3, before visiting Seoul and then Beijing.

China declared its extended zone in a unilateral move last month. The move has been questioned by the governments of the United States, Japan and South Korea.

Seoul is concerned China’s extended air defense zone includes the islands of Marado and Hongdo as well as the Ieodo Ocean Research Station, all under South Korean control.
