Chinese government wary as Japan unveils first marine unit since WWII


The Chinese government has reacted warily to the establishment of a new Japanese amphibious special unit, designed to repel invasions on Japan's remote islands.
Japan and China have a long history of territorial disputes over islands in the East China Sea, in particular a rocky, uninhabited island chain known as the Diaoyu Islands in Beijing and the Senkaku in Tokyo. The Japanese Self Defense Force debuted their newly formed Amphibious Rapid Deployment Brigade (ARDB) on Saturday, at a military display near Sasebo, on the southwestern tip of Kyushu Island.
