China warns of reprisal as Japanese city changes disputed area name

China warns of reprisal as Japanese city changes disputed area nameChina said on Monday it reserves the right to respond to a Japanese city's decision to rename the administrative area that includes remote islands claimed by both China and Japan and have long been a source of friction between the neighbours. The row over the uninhabited East China Sea islets may add to recent tension caused by Japan's criticisms of Beijing's plan to impose a new national security law in Hong Kong. China has said Japan should not interfere in Beijing's internal affairs.
