Japan has confirmed that China installed a buoy in the high seas over Japan's southern continental shelf in the Pacific Ocean. The move has raised concerns about bilateral relations. China claims the buoy is for monitoring tsunamis and not to infringe on Japan's sovereignty. Japan observed the installation by the Chinese survey ship Xiang Yang Hong 22 in mid-June. This incident follows a similar one last year near the Senkaku Islands, leading to protests from Japan. China's increasing military activities in regional waters have sparked tensions, with Japan urging China to respect its maritime interests. The situation highlights ongoing maritime disputes and assertiveness in the East China Sea. Japan is evaluating its response to this latest development to protect its territorial integrity amidst growing regional challenges.
