Ten Chinese surveillance ships sailed into the contiguous zone off the Senkaku Islands on Tuesday afternoon, following a similar incursion by a fishery monitoring ship in the morning, Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura said. However, Fujimura said the government had not confirmed the arrival of about 1,000 fishing boats that Chinese media reported had left several ports Monday for waters near the Senkaku islets.
