The dispute over Diaoyu Island between China and Japan resurfaces: Right-wing Japanese aircraft illegally intruded into airspace
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China lodged stern representations over the Japanese right-wing elements' violation of the airspace of the Diaoyu Islands by piloting civilian aircraft. The Ministry of National Defense refuted the Japanese side's accusation of "violation of airspace" and emphasized that China's expulsion operation was legal. The incident reflects the normalization of maritime and air frictions between China and Japan, which may affect the easing of relations between the two countries
