TENSIONS RISE IN CHINA-JAPAN ISLAND DISPUTE
Several Japanese nationalists have reportedly landed on a rocky island in the East China Sea, at the heart of a territorial row with Beijing.
The move is all but certain to fan anger in China – and worsen ties between Asia's two biggest economies.
Tokyo and Beijing have been feuding for decades over the island chain, known as the Senkaku in Japan and the Diaoyu in China, near potentially huge maritime gas fields.
Tensions flared last week after seven of a group of 14 Chinese activists slipped past Japan's Coast Guard to land on one of the uninhabited isles and raise a Chinese flag.
