Four Chinese coast guard vessels, which appeared armed with deck-mounted machine guns, according to the Japanese Coast Guard, entered Tokyo’s territorial waters around the Japan-controlled Senkaku Islands. Beijing also claims the islands. In response, Japan has lodged its third protest with China in less than two weeks. This time the incursion coincided with Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio's visit to South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, the last time the two will meet before Kishida steps down in early October.
