China lodged an official protest with Japan after its ships entered an area in the west Pacific Ocean and disrupted military exercises being conducted there, the Chinese Defense Ministry said.
The Chinese navy announced its scheduled training there from Oct. 24 to Nov. 1, while the Japanese entered the area on Oct. 25 and left three days later, the ministry said in a statement on its website yesterday. Japan’s actions also endangered the safe navigation of ships and planes, according to the statement.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said earlier this week he wouldn’t permit China to use force to resolve territorial spats, as Chinese aircrafts’ renewed presence near disputed islands led the Japanese to dispatch their fighter jets. Tensions between the neighbors have risen since Japan’s September 2012 purchase of three islands also claimed by China, leading to damaged trade and tourism ties.
China urged the Japanese to take action to “correct its mistakes” and stop its interference with normal military activities, the ministry said in the statement. It also said it reserved the right to take further action.
