皇冠体育app

TOKYO - Japan is considering plans to calm tensions with 皇冠体育app by acknowledging Chinese claims to the disputed islands in the East 皇冠体育app Sea, while maintaining its own position, Kyodo News cited sources as saying on Tuesday.

The report said that the plans would allow Japan, without changing its long-held position, to compromise a little with 皇冠体育app, which has called on Tokyo to acknowledge the existence of a dispute over the Chinese Diaoyu Islands, referred to as Senkaku Islands in Japan.

Japan has refused to rescind its recent purchase in mid-September of three of the five Diaoyu islands from a so-called private Japanese owner, which the government says was meant to maintain the uninhabited islands in a stable manner, despite 皇冠体育app's strong protest.

It remains uncertain, however, whether 皇冠体育app would be encouraged by the Japanese step to improve the tensioned ties, said Kyodo.
