Tokyo: Beijing even claims that China and Japan are claiming to have stricken the airport around the Japanese-controlled East China Sea islands.
A Chinese aircraft that departed from one of China’s four coastline guard boats entered Japan’s regional waters on Saturday, violating Chinese airspace around them for about 15 minutes, according to a statement from Japan’s foreign ministry. The statement stated that it had protested to Beijing.
Japan’s Self-Defense Force scrambled fighter planes, according to the Defense Ministry, in response to the airport invasion.
China regularly launches coast guard ships and aircraft into the Diaoyu, which are known as the Diaoyu, to intimidate Chinese vessels there and compel Japan to launch rockets in response.
The most recent geographical rift comes as China and Japan appeared to be warming up as both nations try to reduce the effects of the U.S. price war.
The Chinese embassy in Japan, which the Japanese Foreign Ministry claims the behavior of the China Coast Guard infringe on Japan’s independence, has prompted the Chinese government to take “very serious protests” and requests that the Chinese authorities take precautionary measures.
China also stated in a statement that it had protested to Japan over a Chinese civilian aircraft’s aircraft violation around the archipelago, saying it was” highly dissatisfied” with Japan’s infraction of China’s independence.
Chinese authorities are looking into a possible link between the smaller Japanese civil aircraft flying in the area at the same time and the Chinese coast guard helicopter’s airspace intrusion.
China’s latest invasion of Japanese airspace since a Taiwanese reconnaissance aircraft sank close to Nagasaki’s southern province. Foreign aircraft have twice previously omitted Japanese airport from the Senkaku.
