“Korea on Tuesday protested Japan’s renewed sovereignty claim to the

Tokyo identified the windswept islets in the East Sea as its territory and
said the ownership issue “still remains unsolved.” The description has
been rehashed since 2005.”

norms.” (…)The white paper described in detail incursions by Chinese
government ships into Japanese waters, citing 41 such incidents from
September to April. The report accused China of “engaging in dangerous
acts that could give rise to a contingency situation,” such as when a
Chinese naval vessel directed its fire-control radar at a Maritime Self-
Defence Force destroyer in January.”

vigilance toward China in its national defense white paper for 2013 amid
that country’s recent military buildup and aggressive maritime expansion.
There has been no sign of improvement in strained bilateral relations
since the government nationalized Uotsurijima and two other islets of the
Senkaku Islands last year.”
