China Intensifies Press on Japan in East China Sea Dispute...
China is stepping up pressure on Japan in a long-running maritime
dispute, deploying Chinese vessels near contested East China Sea islands
and accusing Japanese leaders of making provocative statements.
Japan said four Chinese coast guard patrol ships entered the disputed waters on Monday morning, prompting Japanese authorities to warn the vessels to leave the area, which they did a short time later.
Chinese ships have sailed near the islets on dozens of occasions in the past year. Such incidents typically end within several hours, with the Chinese vessels leaving the area after trading warnings and sovereignty claims with the Japanese.

Japan unveils largest warship since World War II. The 810-ft long ship is able to carry up to 14 helicopters. (VIDEO YT)
YOKOHAMA - Japan today (Aug 6) unveiled its biggest warship since
World War II, a huge flat-top destroyer that has raised eyebrows in
China and elsewhere because it bears a strong resemblance to a
conventional aircraft carrier.
The ship, which has a flight deck that is nearly 250 metres long, is designed to carry up to 14 helicopters. Japanese officials say it will be used in national defence - particularly in anti-submarine warfare and border-area surveillance missions - and to bolster the nation’s ability to transport personnel and supplies in response to large-scale natural disasters, like the devastating earthquake and tsunami in 2011.

China frigate locked radar on Japan navy/Ο κινεζικός στόλος σημάδεψε ιαπωνικό σκάφος-Senkaku/Diaoyu issue
A Chinese military frigate locked weapons-targeting radar on a
Japanese navy vessel, Tokyo's defence minister said Tuesday, in an
apparent upping of the stakes in a bitter territorial row.
The move, described by the minister and a Japanese analyst as
"dangerous", marks the first time the two nation's navies have locked
horns in a dispute that has some commentators warning about a possible
armed conflict.
"On January 30, something like fire-control radar was directed at a
Japan Self-Defense Maritime escort ship in the East China Sea," Itsunori
Onodera told reporters in Tokyo.
"The defence ministry today confirmed radar for targeting was used."
Onodera said a Japanese military helicopter was also locked with a
similar radar on January 19. He did not specify whether the helicopter
was airborne or on the deck of a ship at the time.
