Chinese and Japanese Ships Facing Off

Chinese surveillance ships and Japanese coast guard vessels continue to face off near disputed islands.

Both sides have sent threats and warnings against the other flotilla.

China says that their ships are there to defend Chinese territory from Japanese aggression.

Japan recently purchased some of the islands from their private owners, in an attempt to end the dispute, but China is calling the move illegal.

Anti Japanese protests have been taking place in China since the plan to make the purchase was announced, on Tuesday.
