China sends patrol ships to islands held by Japan
Chinese government ships are patrolling near contested East China Sea islands in a show of anger after Tokyo moved to assert its control in the area.                  

China's official Xinhua News Agency says two patrol ships of the China Marine Surveillance reached the waters off the islands Tuesday.                    

The marine agency is a paramilitary force whose ships are often lightly armed, and Xinhua says it had drawn up a plan of action to safeguard China's sovereignty of the islands.       

Beijing warned Monday that Japan would suffer unspecified consequences if Tokyo purchased the islands from private owners, as it formally did Tuesday. Japan already controls the islands; known to Japanese as the Senkakus and to Chinese as the Diaoyus, but Beijing sees the purchase as a further affront to its claims.
