Chinese missiles pointing at Japanese ships


Japan has reported to the UN that they've detected Chinese Missiles pointing at Japanese naval ships in the eastern Chinese Sea.

The chain of 8 islands known as Senkaku in Japan, and Diaoyu in China, has been historically disputed by Japan and China (and Taiwan), and are thought to be high in fishing deposits and potentially plentiful in oil reserves.

The islands are officially Japanese, although recently the Chines Ambassador to Japan stated to the UN that the chain were 'inherently Chinese.'

This dispute has been on-going for years but was ignited when Tokyo purchased 3 privately owned islands in 2012 from a Japanese citizen.

There'll be no capitalist/communist referendum, as David Cameron has proposed for the dispute over the Falklands, as there's no inhabitants of Japanese owned chain Senkaku.
