China sends ships near disputed island after Clinton's veiled warning - chairman - 01-19-2013
BEIJING: China sent ships around the Japan-controlled Diaoyu islands on Saturday, in response to a veiled US warning to not create problems. Three Chinese surveillance vessels sailed around the islands in the East China Sea, which Beijing claims as its own, for nearly five hours on Saturday.
China is upset with a statement by United States secretary of state Hillary Clinton, who said on Friday that her government was opposed to "any unilateral actions" to undermine Japanese authority over the islands.
