The Pentagon has urged Beijing to stop sending government vessels into Japanese waters, following more incursions by China's coast guard vessels near the Senkaku Islands over the weekend.
Beijing's continued deployment of ships near the islets controlled by Japan "could lead to miscalculation"—or physical and material harm, Department of Defense spokesperson John Kirby said Tuesday.
Two Chinese coast guard ships entered the territory waters of the uninhabited Senkakus on both Saturday and Sunday, said Japan's maritime authority. They marked nine such incursions reported this year.
The disputed islands in the East China Sea are also claimed by China and Taiwan, whose governments refer to them as "Diaoyu" and "Diaoyutai" respectively.

The CCP does not alter anything it is doing based on “warnings” from others. Responses to the errant actions of the CCP require counter actions that guarantee the signal is understood. Others’ mere words mean little to it.

I’m sure the affirmative action Secretary of Defense will get right on it......after he’s done rooting out Trump supporters from the ranks.
Who’s running the show. I can’t believe the Pentagon is taking orders from Biden.
To be sure, Xi is shaking in his boots over a US warning - not.
With Joe Biden in the White House, Congress solidly in Democrat hands, and the US Supreme Court utterly incompetent, does anyone think the Chinese Communists will pay any attention to the USA???

I thought Austin was too busy rooting out “white supremicists” to deal with the real world.
