TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan scrambled fighter jets on Wednesday after a Chinese military aircraft flew for the first time through international airspace near its southern islands out over the Pacific, in a move seen by Japan as underlining China's maritime expansion.
Ties between China and Japan have been strained by a territorial dispute over uninhabited East China Sea islets and hawkish Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe won a decisive victory in upper house elections on Sunday.
Japan's Defense Ministry said a Chinese Y-8 airborne early warning plane flew through airspace between Okinawa prefecture's main island and the smaller Miyako island in southern Japan out over the Pacific at around noon and later took the same route back over the East China Sea.
"I believe this indicates China's move toward further maritime expansion," Japanese Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera told reporters, in comments carried on public broadcaster NHK.
Chinese government spokesmen were not immediately available for comment.
The waters around the disputed islands, called the Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, and which are to the west of Okinawa's main island, are rich fishing grounds and the sea floor around them could hold big oil and gas reserves.
Tension between China and Japan escalated last September when Japan bought three of the disputed islands from a private Japanese owner.
Since then, patrol ships and aircraft from both countries have been shadowing each other in the sea and skies around the islets.
That has raised fears of an unintended collision leading to a broader clash.
Abe has pledged to take a firm stance in the territorial dispute, but said in his news conference following the upper house election win that Japan's door was open to dialogue.

China to Mark 60 Years of Liberation

By Bian-lian Huang.

On October 1, 1999, the People's Republic of China celebrated its 50th National Day with a large and impressive military parade on the grounds of Tiananmen Square. I still recall with goose bumps then-President Jiang Zemin riding in an open-top military jeep inspecting and saluting the People's Liberation Army (Renmin Jiefang Jun). Military hardware including missiles, tanks and fighter jets were on parade. These images were broadcast all over the world.

It was the first visual sign of China's re-emergence as a global power. Ten years on, as the People's Republic of China prepares to mark the 60th anniversary of the country's Liberation, we look forward to seeing an even greater display of wealth and power. Over the last ten years, China's gross domestic product (GDP) has almost doubled, and its military might is now indisputable.

If the 1999 celebration was the first concrete, visual sign of China's prowess as a global power, then the visuals coming out of the 2009 parade shall leave an indelible mark on the world -- that China has stood up. Qi Lai!
