Several recent reports say that Japan is planning to deploy non-combat troops near a chain of islands at the center of a dispute with China in response to Chinese naval war games in the East China Sea. Amid recent tensions between the two Asian powers, Japan is considering deploying 100 troops to Yonaguani, southwest of the disputed islands, known as 'Diaoyu' in China and 'Senkaku' in Japan, the Nikkei Business daily said on Sunday. Though the islands are under Japanese control, Beijing argues that they are historically a part of China.
The plan involves the deployment of lightly armed military personnel to monitor activities and communications of warships and aircraft, the newspaper said. In September, China conducted naval exercises in the Yellow Sea in response to US-South Korean joint drills. The Japanese Defense Ministry has also considered sending troops to the islands of Miyako and Ishigaki, west of Okinawa to beef up border security, the paper said. The main island of Okinawa is home to 2,100 Japanese troops. Currently, no troops are deployed on the islands to the west. The move is expected to worsen the spat between the two neighbors. The dispute over the ownership of the islands became heated in September when Japan detained a Chinese trawler captain near the chain after his vessel collided with two Japanese coastguard ships. The Chinese captain was held in custody for 17 days and then released. Several rival demonstrations have been staged in both China and Japan in recent weeks over the territorial dispute.
