Tensions in the South China Sea are continuing to rise after China asked Japan to reveal why they are planning to send its largest warship on a three month tour of the ocean.

China said on Tuesday, March 15 that it is awaiting official word from Tokyo as to why they’re sending the 24,000-ton warship through the hotly disputed waters.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Beijing hasn’t been told the purpose of the trip and said they will only have objections if the boat doesn’t pass through the waters “normally.”

“We have not yet heard what Japan says officially,” she told a daily news briefing on Tuesday.

“If it’s only a normal visit, going to several countries, and passing normally through the South China Sea, then we’ve got no objections, and we hope this kind of normal exchange between relevant countries can play a role promoting regional peace and stability.

“But if going to the South China Sea has different intentions, then that’s a different matter.”
