Two Chinese government ships enter Japan's waters
Officials of the Japan Coast Guard say two Chinese government ships entered Japan's territorial waters off the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea on Monday morning.
They say the ships entered the waters off Minamikojima island just before 6:30 a.m., and apparently tried to approach a Japanese vessel.
The officials say the Chinese ships had left the Japanese waters by 10:20 a.m. after navigating there for about four hours.
They were reportedly sailing in the contiguous zone just outside the territorial waters as of 10:30 a.m.
