Maritime liaison mechanism between China and Japan can help to avoid maritime misunderstanding and misjudgment
At a regular press conference of the Ministry of National Defense of the People's Republic of China held on June 28, 2012, Geng Yansheng, spokesman of the MND, said the maritime liaison mechanism between the defense departments of China and Japan can help to avoid maritime misunderstanding and misjudgment.
Chinese naval vessels were spotted in waters near a southern Japanese island Tuesday, marking the first time that the nation's ships have closed in on Japanese waters since diplomatic relations between the two countries took a nose-dive after Japan nationalized a chain of disputed islets.
