China embassy in Tokyo receives bullet in envelope

China's embassy in Tokyo, Japan today said they received an envelope with a rifle bullet in it and Japanese police are now probing the case.

"We received a suspicious letter on Thursday. Japanese police came to check it and confirmed there was a rifle bullet in the envelope. We have asked Japanese police to beef up protection of Chinese nationalists," the embassy said in a statement.

Kyodo News Service cited the police as saying that no threatening message was found in the envelope but the sender's name was Yoshihiko Noda, Japan's prime minister.

Tokyo Police Bureau considered it a joke because the two countries are in a standoff over the disputed Diaoyu Islands. They are still checking if the bullet is a real one.
