Japan Criticizes China's Installation of Buoy Over Southern Continental Shelf
Jul 5, 2024, 08:36 PM
Japan has confirmed that China has installed a buoy in the high seas over Japan's southern continental shelf in the Pacific Ocean, specifically in the waters off Shikoku and north of Okinotori Island. The Japanese government is examining the purpose of the buoy, which Beijing claims is intended to monitor tsunamis. However, the installation has been criticized by Japan for lacking adequate explanation and is seen as a potential strain on bilateral relations. The buoy was installed in the Shikoku Basin region, and the confirmation was made on Friday.
