AFAIK A TOTE OF 14 CHINESE + JAPANESE STTAE VESSELS ARE IN DAOYUS/SENKAKUS WATERS - 12 CHINESE AS DESCRIBED, + 2 JAPANESE COAST GUARD. OTOH, as per WORLD MILITARY FORUM, CHINA = repor detached two PLAN FRIGATES to widin 80 nautical miles of the Daoyus/Senkakus. * unconfirmed*. * WORLD NEWS > [Japan Coast Guard] JCG: 11 CHINESE SHIPS [CMS] NEAR DISPUTED ISLES. * SAME > [Daily Yomiuri] CHINA TIES SENKAKUS ROW TO HISTORICAL CONFLICTS [Colonial + Wartime], PROTESTS AT KEY SITES AIMED AT STIRRING ETHNIC SENTIMENTS [Nationalism], ISLAND PURCHASE COUNTS AS OBSTRUCTION TO INTERNATIONAL ORDER. * SAME > THE ISLANDS THAT DIVIDE SUPERPOWERS.

| #5 Chinese are going after Japanese web sites too. But that's nothing new. They come after the server I administer every day. You gotta keep up with your computer security when there is an entire division of the PLA dedicated to hacking. It just goes to show the kind of people they are. |

| #2 Governments actually still SELL bonds to a market? I thought they now just print them and buy them from themselves. |

| #1 95% of Japanese bond buying is internal. Sounds like the Chinese state will yet again be wasting their countries money. |
