Japan and China accuse each other of violating airspace around disputed East China Sea islands
By MARI YAMAGUCHI Japan and China are accusing each other of violating the airspace around the Japanese-controlled East China Sea islands that Beijing also claims. Japan's Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that it has protested to Beijing after a Chinese helicopter that took off from one of China's four coast guard boats had entered Japan's territorial waters around the Senkaku island, violating the Japanese airspace around them for about 15 minutes on Saturday. In response to the airspace intrusion, Japan's Self-Defense Force scrambled fighter jets, the Defense Ministry said. China routinely sends coast guard vessels and aircraft into waters and airspace surrounding the islands, which China calls the Diaoyu, to harass Japanese vessels in the area and force Japan to scramble jets in response. The latest territorial flap comes as Japan and China were appearing to have warm ties as both countries seek to mitigate damages from the U.S. tariff war. The Japanese Foreign Ministry said it lodged a 'very severe protest" through the Chinese embassy in Japan, claiming that China Coast Guard actions infringed Japan's sovereignty and urging the Chinese government to ensure preventive measures. China also said in a statement that it took a similar step and protested to Japan over a Japanese civilian aircraft violating its airspace around the islands, saying it was 'strongly dissatisfied' about Japanese violation of China's sovereignty. Japanese officials are investigating a possible connection between the Chinese coast guard helicopter's airspace intrusion and the small Japanese civilian aircraft flying in the area around the same time. Saturday's intrusion was the first by China since a Chinese reconnaissance aircraft violated the Japanese airspace off the southern prefecture of Nagasaki. Chinese aircraft have also violated the Japanese airspace around the Senkaku twice in the past.

Japan and China trade accusations of airspace violation near disputed islands
TOKYO (AP) — Japan and China have accused each other of violating the airspace around the Japanese-controlled East China Sea islands, which Beijing also claims. The latest territorial flap came as both appeared to have warmer ties while seeking to mitigate damages from the U.S. tariff war. Japan's Foreign Ministry said in a statement it lodged a 'very severe protest' with Beijing after a Chinese helicopter took off from one of China's four coast guard boats, which had entered Japan's territorial waters around the Senkaku islands. The helicopter violated Japanese airspace for about 15 minutes on Saturday, the ministry said. The statement called the incident an 'intrusion ... into Japan's territorial airspace' and urged the Chinese government to ensure preventive measures. Japan's Self-Defense Force scrambled fighter jets in response, according to the Defense Ministry China also protested to Tokyo over a Japanese civilian aircraft violating its airspace around the islands, saying it was 'strongly dissatisfied' about Japan's 'severe violation of China's sovereignty,' according to a statement by the Chinese embassy in Japan late Saturday. China Coast Guard said it 'immediately took necessary control measures against it in accordance with the law' and dispatched a ship-borne helicopter to warn and drive away the Japanese aircraft. Japanese officials are investigating a possible connection between the Chinese coast guard helicopter's airspace intrusion and the small Japanese civilian aircraft flying in the area around the same time. China routinely sends coast guard vessels and aircraft into waters and airspace surrounding the islands, which China calls the Diaoyu, to harass Japanese vessels in the area, forcing Japan to quickly mobilize its jets. Saturday's intrusion was the first by China since a Chinese reconnaissance aircraft violated the Japanese airspace off the southern prefecture of Nagasaki in August. Chinese aircraft have also violated the Japanese airspace around the Senkaku twice in the past. ___ Associated Press writer Huizhong Wu in Taipei contributed to this report.
