Japan urged not to escalate tension over Diaoyu Islands
    2019-09-03  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

CHINA has called on Japan to continue to work on improving bilateral ties and properly settle differences after Tokyo announced a plan to set up a new unit to patrol waters near the Diaoyu Islands.

Japan will launch a new special police unit equipped with submachine guns and helicopters to guard the islands in the East China Sea, Japanese broadcaster NHK said yesterday.

The deployment could take place early next year, it said.

Japan’s National Police Agency has put in a budget request for an additional 159 officers to head off landings on the uninhabited islands, NHK reported quoting the police.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said yesterday that China’s position on the Diaoyu Islands is consistent and firm, and urged Japan not to heighten the tension over the area.

China hopes Japan will follow the four-point consensus reached by the two sides in 2014 and that the two countries can strengthen crisis management mechanisms to stabilize the East China Sea, Geng said.  (CGTN)
