c*******2 发帖数: 617 | 1 TOKYO—Two Chinese coastguard ships sailed into waters around disputed
islands in the East China Sea Saturday, the Japanese coastguard said, two
days after US President Barack Obama declared his supportfor Japan.
The vessels entered 12 nautical miles (22 kilometers) into Japan’s
territorial waters off one of the Senkaku islands, which China also claims
and calls the Diaoyus, around noon (0300 GMT), the coastguard said.
It was the first such move since Obama announced Thursday that Washington
would defend Japan, under the bilateral military alliance, if China
initiates an attack in the tense territorial dispute.
China has already dismissed Obama’s position, saying that the islands are
“China’s inherent territory.”
Chinese ships last entered the area on April 12, according to the Japanese
coastguard. |
