China disputes Japan's territorial claims over disputed waters in East China Sea

The area is claimed by both China and Japan and has long been a sticking point in bilateral ties.

BEIJING, March 16 : China's foreign ministry on Thursday countered Japan's territorial claims over disputed waters in the East China Sea, calling the move a"grave violation" of Chinese sovereignty.

Wang made the remarks in response to a question on Japan's coast guard saying Chinese coast guard vessels violated Japanese territorial waters around the disputed East China Sea islets. China's coast guard said on Wednesday it entered the waters around disputed East China Sea islets to counter what it called the incursion of Japanese vessels into Chinese territorial waters.

"(This also）is a strong countermeasure to the Japanese side's intrusion of one yacht and several patrol vessels into our territorial waters," Gan said, though he did not specify any incident.
