The China Coast Guard (CCG) stated on Sunday that it expelled a Japanese fishing vessel and a number of other patrol ships that illegally entered China’s territorial waters close to the Diaoyu Islands on Saturday.
The Diaoyu Islands and its affiliated islands are China’s inherent territory, and Japan is in no place to make irresponsible feedback about CCG’s maritime regulation enforcement actions in waters beneath China’s jurisdiction to safeguard the nation’s maritime rights in accordance with the regulation, stated Gan Yu, spokesperson for the CCG, within the assertion.
“We urge the Japanese side to immediately stop all illegal activities in the waters and make sure incidents like this will never happen again,” the spokesperson stated.
