On Friday, a spokesperson for the China Coast Guard (CCG), Liu Dejun, announced that CCG vessels had taken action against a Japanese fishing boat. The incident occurred on Wednesday near Chiwei Yu, where the Japanese vessel was found to have illegally entered China's territorial waters. The CCG took necessary control measures and issued a warning for the boat to depart.
Liu Dejun reaffirmed China's position on the Diaoyu Dao and its affiliated islands. He stated that these islands are inherently part of China's territory. He urged the Japanese side to cease all illegal activities within these waters immediately.
The CCG spokesperson further emphasized the organization's commitment to protecting China's maritime interests. The CCG will continue its rights protection and law enforcement operations in waters under China's jurisdiction. This is to safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.

Surprise, surprise! China once again takes an aggressive approach and pretends it's just doing its job.

This is typical of China's expansionist policies. They need to respect other countries' rights.

Illegal entry? What a stretch! This is just China trying to flex its muscles.

Japan should not have to face threats for simply doing what other nations do. This behavior is unacceptable!

As a sovereign nation, China must assert its rights to deter illegal activities.
