INTERNATIONAL NEWS - Taiwan's president has warned Japan against attempting to nationalize islands that are part of a disputed chain in the East China Sea.
President Ma Ying-jeou also asserted Taiwan's claims to the chain during a visit Friday to Taiwan's Pengchia Islet. The islet lies off northern Taiwan, only about 140 kilometers (85 miles) west of the disputed chain - known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China.
The chain is controlled by Japan but also claimed by China and Taiwan.
Japan's government reportedly is planning to buy several of the islands from their private Japanese owners.
Ma also asked commanders at two Taiwan-controlled islets in the South China Sea's Pratas and Spratly island chains to strengthen guards. Those chains are claimed by Taiwan, China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Brunei and Malaysia.
