Investing.com -- Japan has protested China’s installation of a new structure in the East China Sea, according to a statement from the Japanese foreign ministry on Tuesday.
The structure is being built on the west side of the geographical equidistance between Japan and China in an area where the exclusive economic zone and continental shelf have not yet been officially delimited.
"It is extremely regrettable," the Japanese foreign ministry said in its statement regarding China’s decision to proceed with unilateral development in the disputed area.
Japan has requested that China stop this unilateral development and return to negotiations regarding the implementation of a 2008 agreement. Under this agreement, both countries had committed to cooperate on natural resources development in the East China Sea.
