Japanese Government summons Chinese Ambassador

The Japanese government’s Foreign Ministry summoned on Tuesday the Chinese Ambassador Cheng Yonghua over another incursion into territorial waters surrounding the disputed Senkaku / Diaoyu Islands on Monday.                  

Beijing is showing no signs of backing down from its claims over the Japan-controlled territory, as two Chinese patrol ships spent much of the afternoon in the area, ignoring warnings from the Japan Coast Guard to leave.                 

While thankfully there was no breakout of hostile action, the Chinese ships entered the territorial waters and remained there for roughly 14 hours.                    

This incident came right a Chinese fishing boat crew was released late Sunday after being caught and arrested for illegally fishing in waters off Okinawa.              

It is also only the most recent occurrence of patrol ships violating Japan’s territorial waters, with similar instances taking place nearly every other week for the last few months.
