[quote:DL:MV8xOTk0MDg4XzMzNDk2MTUxX0EyODY0MjI0] Now Japan and China may be just one step away from a shooting incident. When the top political commissar of the People’s Liberation Army is reported as talking about the need to prepare for war with Japan, it may well be more than words. If the 1,000 fishing ships actually do attempt to enter the Senkakus, there is no way the Japanese Coast Guard can intercept them all, and another Chinese captain may decide to ram a Japanese vessel, as happened in 2010, precipitating the previous crisis. This time, though, the Japanese will be under intense pressure to take stronger action to avoid being seen as impotent. But, with nearly a dozen Chinese patrol vessels, some of which may be armed, on the scene, any attempt to assert Japanese authority in the Senkakus could wind up with shots being fired across the bows — or worse — of either Chinese or Japanese ships. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/327794/how-close-are-japan-and-china-war-michael-auslin# [/quote]

China-Japan Territorial Dispute Mounts; U.S. Reservation About China's Expansion Likely to Fuel Tensions
While it is not yet clear whether 1-thousand Chinese fishing boats will make their way towards the disputed Senkaku or Diaoyu Islands as reported earlier by Chinese media,
Japan has deployed 50 patrol ships to the area in the East China Sea.
This according to Japanese daily Asahi Shimbun Wednesday, a day after Beijing sent a dozen surveillance vessels to a zone near the islands.
50 patrol ships uh?

This is a list of active ships of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. The JMSDF is one of the world's largest navies and the second largest navy in Asia. It operates four helicopter destroyers, eight guided-missile destroyers, thirty frigates, six light-frigates and sixteen attack submarines (SSK).
TOTAL of ships : 12 destroyers, 36 frigates and 16 submarines = 64 ships.
50/64 ships deployed... uh oh??
