SpaceWar.com reports: “Japan’s top diplomat Takeshi Iwaya expressed ‘serious concerns’ to his Chinese counterpart over Beijing’s increasing military activity, Tokyo said Wednesday.

Iwaya also told Wang Yi in Beijing that ‘Japan is closely monitoring the Taiwan situation and recent military developments’, a Japanese foreign ministry statement said.

Taipei said earlier this month that Beijing had held its biggest maritime drills in years, stretching from near the southern islands of Japan to the South China Sea.
