No. Japan is trying to start a war. China was not in their territorial waters. China has a legal right to go to open ocean. Not so long ago Japan made a far worse violation and ended up in Chinese territorial waters and Japan admits it. In that case there is no innocent passage interpretation because the only place Japan can go to is China. As Unclos stated China has a right to go to open ocean and if they have to pass through territorial. Waters. They are allowed to. The fact the article said 26 miles. China has been respectful. Territorial waters is 12 and contiguous is 24. Not 26 as stated in the article.
