Japan says Chinese ships spend record time violating its territorial waters

Chinese coast guard ships have twice intruded into Japan's territorial waters in the past four days, forcing Japanese coast guard vessels to block the Chinese ships from approaching Japanese fishing boats on at least one occasion, authorities in Tokyo said Monday.

Both Tokyo and Beijing claim the uninhabited islands as their own, but Japan has administered them since 1972. On Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeman Zhao Lijian, maintained that it was China's inherent right to patrol waters around the islands and Beijing urged Japan to stop infringing upon the country's sovereignty.

The close proximity between the two sides places the ships at the risk of collision, which could ratchet up tension even further if a military confrontation is provoked.
