In this Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2013 photo, a China coast guard vessel numbered 2506, top, sails along the Japan coast guard ship Katori in the continuous zone of Japan's territorial waters off the disputed East China Sea islands called Senkaku in Japanese and Diaoyutai in Chinese. A big problem for China is its bad blood with virtually all of its neighbors, many of whom are key players in the search of missing Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777.
