Three Chinese coast guard vessels sail past the disputed waters off the coast of Tokyo -controlled islands in the East China Sea on Saturday morning, the Japan Coast Guard patrol said .

The Chinese government -owned ships entering the area 12 miles from the coastal waters of the Senkaku islands are recognized China as the Diaoyu islands on Saturday at around 09.00 local time and left the area two hours later , he said .
Chinese ships and aircraft often approached the islands in the East China Sea - which is estimated to rich natural resources - after Japan launched its ownership of a number of islands in September 2012 ,
