Three Chinese ships in disputed waters: Japan coastguard

[Ashoka The Great]

TOKYO: Japan's coastguard said three Chinese surveillance ships were in the territorial waters of disputed islands in the East China Sea on Thursday.

The three marine surveillance ships entered the 12-nautical-mile territorial zone off Uotsuri, one of the islands, shortly after 7:00 am (2200 GMT Wednesday), the Japan Coast Guard said in a statement.

Beijing claims the Japanese-controlled islands, called the Senkakus in Japan and Diaoyus in China.

The move was the latest in a series by Chinese government ships since Tokyo nationalized three islands in the chain in September, in what it said was merely an administrative change of ownership. The action sparked fierce protests in China.

I still don't get it, correct me if im wrong but...
a man discovered the island before china did and he privately sold it to a japanese so its the property of japan... what is china's evidence that it belongs to them? I remembered somewhere that some document that proves the island is China's was discovered to be a fake.

and its just a tiny island... china is huge they don't need no more land

Maybe Viets are jealous of China's greatness.
