U.S. Lawmakers Urge ICAO to Oppose China's Flight Route Extension

Imagine airplanes flying near a place called Taiwan.

China decided to change how these planes fly, making the route closer to Taiwan without asking.

Some people in the U.S. are worried because they think this is not fair and could be unsafe.

They want the United Nations' aviation group to say no to China's change.

They also want Taiwan to be able to join the group's meetings, like a guest.

Taiwan has its own government and wants to decide its own future, while China sees Taiwan as part of China.

The U.S. lawmakers are concerned about the changes to the flight path, saying it could cause problems for airplanes.
