Japan's rock port plans angers China
Updated
Japan has set aside $US7 million towards building a port on a tiny outcrop of rocks called Okinotori, almost 2,000 kilometres south of Tokyo. If Japan conducts economic activity there, it can expand its Exclusive Economic Zone by hundreds of kilometres out into the ocean. And there's a suggestion there may be oil under the seabed as well. Not surprisingly, Japan's big plans for these small rocks isn't sitting well with China.
