Japan scrambles F-15 jets over disputed islands

Japan has scrambled fighter jets following an incident where at least one Chinese maritime aircraft entered the airspace over a group of islands in the East China Sea disputed by both Tokyo and Beijing.

Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura told reporters on Thursday that F-15 planes were mobilized after Chinese aircraft entered the airspace just after 11 a.m. local time (0200 GMT) over the disputed islands, known as Diaoyu in China and Senkaku in Japan.

Over the past two months, Chinese ships have moved in and out of waters around the islands.

However, the Japanese Defense Ministry said the airspace intrusion was the first ever by China.

Meanwhile, Beijing said the flight of the Chinese aircraft over the disputed islands was “completely normal.”

Japan’s coast guard said it had detected four maritime surveillance vessels in waters around the islands earlier in the day and ordered them to leave the area.

Japan and China have long been in a dispute over the sovereignty of the islands, which would give the owner exclusive oil, mineral and fishing rights in the surrounding waters.

Tensions heightened between the two countries after Japan signed a deal on September 11 to buy three of the islands from their private Japanese owner in line with plans to nationalize the archipelago. Hundreds of Chinese held anti-Japan demonstrations following the move.

In October, Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Zhang Zhijun said, “We are watching very closely what action Japan might take regarding the Diaoyu islands and their adjacent waters. The action that Japan might take will shape China’s countermeasures.”

“If Japan continues down its current wrong path and takes more erroneous actions and creates incidents regarding the Diaoyu Islands and challenges China, China will definitely take strong measures to respond to that.”

A Chinese naval fleet returned to a military port in Zhoushan of east China’s Zhejiang Province Tuesday.

The return marks the end of a 15-day far-sea training exercise in the West Pacific Ocean. The fleet carried out open sea combat and supply drills, as well as search and rescue programs during the training.

Comprised of two guided missile destroyers, two missile frigates, a supply ship and shipboard helicopters, the fleet set sail on November 27th from Zhoushan and passed through the Miyako Strait to enter West Pacific Ocean.

On their way back to the East China Sea Monday, the fleet patrolled waters near the Diaoyu Islands.

Taiwan reiterates Diaoyutai Islands claim


TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taiwan yesterday urged all claimants to the Diaoyutai Islands to refrain from activities that could escalate tension and called for peace and stability in the region after a Chinese plane was spotted in airspace over the disputed seas yesterday morning.

Reiterating the nation's claim over the island chain, Foreign Ministry deputy spokesman Calvin Ho yesterday said the Diaoyutais are an inherent part of the territory of the Republic of China, and that the government will not back down on its sovereignty claim.

He again called for all claimants to shelve their differences, pursue peace and reciprocity and jointly explore resources in the area.

Meanwhile, Taiwan's military yesterday said it closely monitored the Chinese plane that entered Diaoyutai airspace.

Related military units were on standby for any possible contingencies throughout the incident, the military said in a statement.

The Diaoyutai islands, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China have been a long-standing source of tension.

Japan yesterday also accused China of violating its airspace, sending several F-15 fighter jets to the region in response. Tokyo also filed a complaint with Beijing, criticizing the move as an act of provocation.

A Chinese marine surveillance plane was sent to join vessels patrolling the territorial waters around the Diaoyu Islands on Thursday morning, according to China's maritime authorities.

TheYuzheng 206, China's largest fishery patrol ship, at port in Shanghai on Tuesday. The vessel embarked on its maiden voyage from Shanghai on Tuesday to patrol waters near the Diaoyu Islands, showing China's determination to safeguard its sovereignty over the islands.


China's marine surveillance plane flying over the Diaoyu Islands was "completely normal," a foreign ministry spokesman told at a regular press conference Thursday.

"The Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islets are an inalienable part of China's territory, and it's completely normal for a Chinese marine surveillance plane to fly over them," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a regular press conference.

He also urged Japan to stop its illegal operations in the waters and space concerning the islands.

Hong said that the current severe difficulties in China-Japan relations are the result of Japan's illegal purchase of the Diaoyu Islands, calling on the Japanese government to correct its mistakes by showing sincerity and taking action through dialogue and negotiations.

If only Taiwan would be more active in sending patrols to the area like their brothers are doing. We should be taking turns flying in and out just to keep their F-15 squadron busy.
 
Actually there were 2 planes(CMS B-3837 and CMS B-3806)hovering over waters around the Diaoyu Islands for some 28 mins,with the lowest crusing altitude being just 60m above the sea level::azn:

Japanese radars failed to detect the presences of the two planes for much of the duration,hence the reported difference in time。

Thanks, Evgeny

Excuse my lousy Chinese here,but I have no idea what A95 or “benxin” means。

Are they names for certain grades of petrol?Benzin?

Anyhow here are what gas stations charge in Shanghai(amongst the highest in the nation):

No。90 7.26 yuan
No。93 7.75 yuan
No。97 8.24 yuan
No.0 diesel 7.66 yuan

Figures are in litre and are the highest allowable by the National Development and Reform Commission。Each station has its own prices,normally 20-30 cents off the State stipulated price。You will find (mostly)lower prices in other provinces in the link below:

Hope it helps。
 
I got it: you mean A95 petrol,a grade name used in Beijing only,and known as No. 97 petrol in the rest of the country。:devil:

I have been in Shanghai for too long and have apparently forgotten the uniqueness of our great capital。!!!:yahoo:

It's exactly the same legal obligation that forces the US to defend Diaoyudai; the US has a legal obligation to defend all territories administered by the ROK, including the Liancourt Rocks administered by the ROK.

Only if n Korea attacks Liancourt. And it's the US that determine its obligations, not Korea.
 
So what next?
Looks to me that China is keen to step up the provocations.

Not a big deal。

These are international waters, the PLAN will continue to train and exercise in those international waters the way the USN have for years。

So the Japanese might as well get used to the reality。

Judging by their showings in the face of CMS and CFA ships conducting constant patrols around the Islands,the Japs sure will sooner or later。:azn:
