A: Hey buddy, heard any exciting news lately?

B: Not really, just been working on my English. What's up?

A: Well, there was a tussle between China and Japan!

B: Oh? What happened?

A: So, Japan's mad at China because they didn't ask permission for a ship to do some research near their southern island.

B: Which island is that?

A: Okinotorishima in the Pacific. The Japanese Coast Guard noticed it on Monday.

B: And Japan complained, right?

A: Exactly! They said no to China's research without their agreement.

B: What did China say about it?

A: Well, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that Okinotorishima is a reef, not an island, so they can't establish an Exclusive Economic Zone around it. They also said Japan's claim goes against international law.

B: Wow, sounds like a legal battle!

A: Yep, and China claimed their activities were just exercising the freedom of the high seas, and Japan has no right to interfere.

B: That's intense. I hope they can sort it out peacefully.

A: Me too, let's see what happens next!

China has rejected Japan&#039;s protest over a Chinese vessel&#039;s activities in Japan&#039;s exclusive economic zone near its southernmost island.
        
                    
                  
The Japan Coast Guard says it detected a Chinese maritime research ship conducting activities near Okinotorishima in the Pacific on Monday without prior consent from Tokyo.
        
                    
                  
Japan&#039;s Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi Yoshimasa said Tuesday that the government lodged a protest with the Chinese side. He said maritime scientific surveys without Japan&#039;s consent are not allowed and should be stopped immediately.
        
                    
                  
In response, Chinese Foreign Ministry&#039;s spokesperson Mao Ning told reporters on Tuesday that Okinotorishima is a reef, not an island. She added that an EEZ or a continental shelf cannot be established around it.
        
                    
                  
She reiterated China&#039;s previous argument, saying that Japan&#039;s claim violates international law.
        
                    
                  
The spokesperson also maintained that China&#039;s activities are an exercise of freedom of the high seas, and Japan has no right to interfere.
