Three ships of China’s Coast Guard have conducted patrols near the
disputed Senkaku (Diaoyu) Islands in the East China Sea, controlled by
Tokyo and claimed by Beijing, the Japan Coast Guard (formerly the
Maritime Safety Agency) said on Thursday.
TOKYO (Sputnik) – The Japan Coast Guard demanded that the Chinese
vessels leave the contiguous zone and refrain from approaching the
territorial waters of Japan.
In 2014, Japan and China agreed to reduce tensions over the disputed
Senkaku Islands, known as Diaoyu in Chinese. Japan, however, has
repeatedly accused the Chinese Navy of entering the Japanese territorial

and Coast Guard vessels) of briefly entering the territorial waters of
Japan that same month.
