TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan has conveyed to China its concern over the military drills conducted around Taiwan on Monday, Japanese Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Kazuhiko Aoki told a regular press conference.
"We are aware China carried out military drills around Taiwan yesterday. The government is watching related developments with grave interest and has informed the Chinese side of our concerns," Aoki said on Tuesday.
China's defence ministry vowed on Monday to take further action against Taiwan if needed, following the holding of a day of war games around the island Beijing claims as its territory.
