TOKYO: Four Chinese vessels sailed into territorial waters around disputed islands in the East China Sea, Japan said on Sunday, as Tokyo attempts to engage with Beijing to press **rth Korea over its latest nuclear test.
The four coastguard vessels sailed into waters surrounding the islands, administered as Senkaku by Japan and claimed as Diaoyu by China, at around 10:30 am (0130 GMT) and left about 90 minutes later, the Japan Coast Guard said.
The two countries are locked in a long-running dispute over the uninhabited islets. China regards them as its own, rejecting the view it violates Japan’s territorial waters.
The latest incident comes at a tense time for the region after Pyongyang conducted its fifth and most powerful nuclear test on Friday, to the outrage of its neighbours and the international community.
Japan, the United States and South Korea have asked China -- one of **rth Korea’s few allies -- to use its leverage to persuade Pyongyang to comply with UN sanction resolutions. Japan has routinely complained that China is escalating regional tensions by regularly sending ships to the island chain despite repeated protests from Tokyo.
