Oh, Janiz! Finally something small goes Japan's way! Congratulations for performing like a regular coast guard and saving lives; really. Compared to the other things that are happening with Japan, this definitely qualifies as a LEGENDARY victory. And now, you wait for your legendary prize: more Chinese vessels around the Diaoyu Islands tomorrow. And don't forget your legendary "thank you" letter! Keep playing the legendary game; more legendary prizes to come!
Okay...enough of the dripping sarcasm.

That will only lead to arguments and could easily be construed as Flame Bait.

Read and Follow SD Rues. That type of flame baiting and trolling other members is not allowed.

That s all.

Four maritime cutters came within 12 nautical miles of the Diaoyu Islands.

日本共同社8月17日报道称,日本海上保安厅17日表示,中国海警局4艘船只当天上午相继驶入钓鱼岛12海里巡航。这是2016年以来中国公务船第25日驶入钓鱼岛12海里巡航执法,上次是在本月9日。

  中国国家海洋局官网发布消息证实,2016年8月17日,中国海警2306、2101、2102、31239舰船编队在我钓鱼岛领海内巡航。

  不过,据日本共同社透露,日本外务省亚洲大洋洲局局长金杉宪治17日就中国海警船再次进入钓鱼岛附近日方所谓的“领海”一事,向中国驻日本大使馆方面提出了抗议。日方近期因中方公务船巡航已向中方提出多次抗议,甚至将抗议级别上升到部长级别。

  中国外交部近期就中方公务船巡航钓鱼岛回应日方表示,中方在钓鱼岛问题上的立场是明确的、一贯的。钓鱼岛及其附属岛屿是中国固有领土,中方公务船在钓鱼岛海域巡航是中方固有权利。

Sovereignty of the territory a source of increasing tension between Japan and China

China has built a new pier for warships at a site under development as a military base near the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea, sources close to the matter said on Friday.

By building the pier on one of the islands in the Nanji chain off the port of Wenzhou, Beijing is apparently aiming to improve its preparedness to counter Japan and the United States, both critical of China’s growing maritime assertiveness, the sources said.

The island chain is about 100km closer to the disputed islets than the main island of Japan’s Okinawa Prefecture, home to a large portion of US military bases in Japan.

The disputed small islands are controlled by Japan, which calls them the Senkaku.

China also appears keen to enhance monitoring of the air defence identification zone it declared over the sea in 2013 to fortify its territorial claims. Neither Japan nor the United States have recognised the zone.

The sources said the pier was constructed on Nanji Island, the largest in the chain, and several warships have already been seen docking there. The 70 to 80-metre long pier can also accommodate landing craft.

The islands already have an advanced radar system in place and a heliport for use by aircraft carrier-based helicopters.

Plans are under way to build a runway for military use on the island, but construction does not appear to have started, the sources said. Exercises by military aircraft were held in the area in the spring, they said.

Tensions remain high between Japan and China over theDiaoyu Islands.

Japan is increasingly concerned about Chinese government vessels’ repeated entry into Japanese waters near the chain.

A plan for the China Coastguard to build a large-scale base at Wenzhou is underway to boost support for vessels monitoring the Diaoyus.

A Japanese citizen was detained in Wenzhou in May last year and later indicted. Before his detention, the man was allegedly investigating a military facility.

LOL. How much nearer is it to these islands than the next nearest Chinese naval base?
