                   China Repeats Claims Over Disputed Islands

   A senior Chinese general says warships will continue to patrol waters
   where Beijing has territorial claims, despite disputes with other Asian
   countries.
   Speaking at an annual security conference in Singapore Sunday,
   Lieutenant-General Qi Jianguo, deputy chief of the People`s Liberation
   Army, said Beijing regards the East China Sea and the South China Sea
   as being under Chinese sovereignty.
   Qi told the delegates that Chinese warships and patrolling activities
   are totally legitimate and uncontroversial.
   China is embroiled in territorial disputes with Japan, Vietnam, the
   Philippines, Brunei and Malaysia over several resource-rich islands in
   the two seas.
