  • Most recent move by Shinzo Abe’s adminsitration to test the response and tolerance of China and the international community.
  • China opposes infringement upon its sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands.
  • A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman claimed on Tuesday that China does not accept Japan’s protest and representation over Chinese maritime surveillance ships’ patrols in waters off the Diaoyu Islands.
