China Coast Guard "Japanese patrol vessel entering Diaoyudao waters, ordered to leave"

On the 28th, the Chinese Coast Guard announced that it issued warnings and took eviction measures against Japanese patrol vessels that entered the waters of the Senkaku Islands (called Diaoyudao in Chinese), a territory disputed between China and Japan.

Through its official social media (SNS) account on the same day, the Chinese Coast Guard stated, "The Japanese vessel Ryushomaru (隆祥丸) and several patrol vessels illegally entered our Diaoyudao waters," adding, "The Chinese Coast Guard ships took necessary control measures according to the law and issued warnings and eviction orders."

It further emphasized, "Diaoyudao and its affiliated islands are China's inherent territory, and the Chinese Coast Guard vessels are conducting maritime rights protection and law enforcement activities within our national jurisdiction according to the law," urging, "Japan must immediately cease all illegal activities in these waters and prevent similar incidents from recurring."

The Senkaku Islands, currently under Japan's effective control, are a site of territorial dispute between China and Japan. The Chinese Coast Guard frequently publicizes patrols around the Senkaku Islands to build justification supporting its country's territorial claims.
