China `sorry' for intrusion

TOKYO: China expressed regret on Tuesday over what it called an accidental incursion by a Chinese submarine into Japanese territorial waters last week, Japan's Foreign Minister said. ``An investigation by Chinese authorities has confirmed that it was a Chinese nuclear submarine,'' said Nobutaka Machimura. ``China has said that it regrets the incident and will carry on its policy of partnership with Japan unchanged,'' he added. China said the submarine had mistakenly entered Japanese waters near the southern island of Okinawa on Wednesday while on regular training. Tokyo had said the direction the submarine took, and the fact that it was nuclear-powered, indicated the craft was Chinese. Beijing had refused to confirm that previously.
