Two Chinese Patrol Ships Trying to Intrude into Japan's Territorial Waters

Two Chinese patrol ships equipped with machine guns and some anti-aircraft capacity trying to intrude into Japan's territorial waters near Senkaku Islands left the area at 6 PM, JST today.

Japan Coast Guard repeated its warning that they should not enter Japan's territorial waters. The closest they got to Japan's territorial waters was 600 meters. Responding to the repeated warning, they said "We are legally controlling Senkaku Islands". They remained in the area for about 34 hours.

The Chinese patrol ships have showed up five times after Senkaku Incident on September 7, 2010.

I think that since they try to get close to Japan's territorial waters, U.S.,Japan's ally has every reason to deploy U.S. navy in the Yellow Sea even after or even if the current Korean crisis is over.
