Chinese Ship Aims Targeting Radar at Japanese Vessel

Tensions rose again, after a Chinese naval ship aimed targeting radar at a Japanese naval vessel. The incident was yet the latest of things between the two countries, in the East China Sea.

According to Japanese officials, it actually occurred on January 30, but took until Tuesday to confirm and investigate. Japan has officially protested the incident, one of the highest diplomatic actions available to them.

For centuries, both countries have laid claim to islands, resources, and waters that have traditionally been recognized as Japanese. Over the last year, China has been pushing their claims.

The last incident, occurred on January 12, when both countries scrambled fighters, but then pulled back before any confrontation could occur. Japan also scrambled jets, on December 25, when their airspace was violated.

China is also pushing claims in the South China Sea. Their claims there have put the entire region into worry as China enlarges it's military presence. Issues with China have seen unprecedented cooperation between the other nations.
