8 Chinese ships sail near disputed islands: Japan
The Japanese government says it has detected eight Chinese government ships in the waters near a disputed East China Sea island chain, claimed both by Tokyo and Beijing. - Japan's coastguard said that the vessels entered the waters off the islands, which the Chinese call the Diaoyu and the Japanese call the Senkaku, around 8:00 a.m. local time on Tuesday. The move prompted Japan's Foreign Ministry to summon the Chinese ambassador to Tokyo in protest.
