During a conference in San Diego, Navy Capt. James Fanell, director of intelligence and information operations for the U.S said the island of Taiwan was no longer Beijing's lone major target as seen in the last fall's war games.
According to the Washington Times, China claims the chain of uninhabited Senkakus islands located north of Taiwan and South of Japan's Ryuku islands as a part of its territory.
With intentions to intimidate nearby nations the Chinese coast guard and naval forces conducted a coordinated series of provocations and also imposed an air defense zone over much of the East China Sea.

China says no room for compromise with Japan on history, territory...
ReplyDelete(Reuters) - China said on Saturday that there was no room for compromise with Japan on questions of history and disputed territory, "each inch" of which it would defend from its Asian neighbor.
China's ties with Japan have long been poisoned by what China sees as Japan's failure to atone for its occupation of parts of China before and during World War Two.
Beijing's anger over the past is never far from the surface, and relations have deteriorated sharply over the past 18 months because of a dispute over a chain of uninhabited islands in the East China Sea.
"On the two issues of principle, history and territory, there is no room for compromise," Foreign Minister Wang Yi told reporters on the sidelines of China's annual parliament.
"Only by making a clean break with the past and stop going back on one's own words can the relationship emerge from the current impasse and have a future," Wang said, reiterating China's oft-stated stance.
