The latest flare-up with China followed the Japanese government's purchase from private Japanese owners earlier this month of the islands controlled by Japan but also claimed by China. Japan's nationalization of the islands—known as the Senkaku in Japan, Diaoyu in China—set off anti-Japanese protests in more than 100 cities in China, some violent, leaving a trail of burned-down factories, looted stores and vandalized consulates. The head of a Japanese insurers' industry body has said insurance payments to Japanese companies damaged by the protests could total up to tens of billions of yen.
Beijing also sent paramilitary patrol boats under its various agencies to waters near the islands, setting off a cat-and-mouse chase with the Japanese Coast Guard that has continued for more than a week. On Monday, the Coast Guard said two Chinese vessels entered the islands' territorial waters, an act Tokyo sees as provocative.

Japanese opposition lawmakers have called for beefing up the defenses around the islands. But Mr. Noda said he saw no need to bring in the Japanese navy, and shrugged off the possibility of a military conflict. "It's not good to talk about pessimistic scenarios," the 55-year-old leader said.
