If I read that correctly, then it wasn't the military but the coast guards involved. Doesn't this happen regularly?

There was a Whisky war over an island.
This is how shit should be settled, not whatever the fuck the rest of the world is doing.

That's easy to do over an island with nothing on it.

Which country will get access to sea around the island in this case?

This is the best summary I could come up with:
HONG KONG, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Chinese and Japanese coast guard ships have faced off in waters around disputed islands in the East China Sea, both countries said on Tuesday.
China said it drove away several Japanese vessels that "illegally" entered territorial waters on Monday around the islands, which it calls Diaoyu, and it urged Japan to stop all "illegal activities" in the area.
Japan controls the islands and calls them the Senkaku.
Japan's coast guard said in a press release it ordered two Chinese coast guard vessels to leave the waters around the islands and manoeuvred its ships to prevent them from approaching Japanese fishing boats.
The uninhabited area has long been a sticking point in ties between the two countries.

Could everybody please just CALM the FUCK down?
I suspect China is ramping up operations around disputed territories, because of the world's attention being focused elsewhere.
I hear that theory a lot(for different situations), but I imagine most governments can multitask.
