The United States has officially voiced its concern to Beijing after a Chinese maritime surveillance plane flew over the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea, over which both China and Japan claim sovereignty.
"It's important to avoid actions that raise tensions and to prevent miscalculations that could undermine peace, security and economic growth in the region," US State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said on Friday.
China and Japan have long disputed the sovereignty of the islands, which Japan calls the Senkakus. Reported by S.China Morning Post 58 minutes ago.
