What happens
Japanese and Chinese forces have skirmished inconclusively over the strategic Marco Polo Bridge located just southwest of Beijing. China has rejected Japan's demands for an apology and territorial concessions, claiming instead that the 'breaking point' of Japanese aggression has been reached. Diplomats fear that the volatile situation could result in war at any time.
