This time the Chinese submarine was seen showing up near Liuqiu Islands. And since China (neither Jiang JieShi or Taiwan) ever abandon the sovereignty of LiuQiu Islands, so it is ridiculous to claim China's sub “invaded” Japanese water.

Here is a little history about LiuQiu (e.g. Ryukyu or Japanese call it Okinawa):

LiuQiu Islands belonged to China before 1875. Japanese occupied them in 1875. In 1895, Japanese declared JiaWu War to China. China was defeated, and then Japan occupied Taiwan as a result. In 1896, Japanese occupied China's DiaoYu Islands (Japanese call it Senkaku).

After Japanese were defeated in 1945, both Liu Qiu Islands and Diaoyu Islands were under the US control. In May, 1972, the US and Japan secretly signed an agreement (US-Japan San Francisco Agreement), “officially” transferred both islands to Japan without asking China's opinion. And in the agreement, the US cleverly avoided the issue of sovereignty of LiuQiu Islands, just transferred the administration right of LiuQiu Islands to Japan.

Potsdam Declaration after WWII has clearly stated that the transferring of LiuQiu and DiaoYu Islands should be done under the common agreement of four countries (The US, Ex-Soviet Union, Britain, and China), so the secret agreement bet. the US and Japan can never hold on international arena.
