Chinese Coast Guard Enters Waters Near Diaoyu Islands for 2 Consecutive Days after the Coast Guard Law Passed

After the China Coast Guard (CCG) Law taking into effect this month, Chinese coast guard vessels entered the waters near the Diaoyu Islands (known as the Senkaku Islands in Japan) for two consecutive days. The islands are under sovereignty dispute with Japan.

According to Japan's 11th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters, two Chinese Coast Guard vessels had entered Japanese territorial waters near the Japan-claimed Senkaku Islands on Tuesday at around 4:45 a.m. Japanese authorities said that the Chinese Coast Guard vessels turned their bow toward two Japanese fishing boats and tried to approach them. The Japan Coast Guard deployed patrol boats to ensure the safety of the fishing boats and issued a warning to the Chinese Coast Guard, asking them to leave the territorial waters.

Japanese Defence Minister: Firmly Defend Senkaku Islands Territory, Taiwan is Important in Japan’s Energy Supply Lifeline

Japanese Minister of Defence Kishi Nobuo indicated in an interview with CNN that the Senkaku Islands, China-called “Diaoyu Islands”, is “undoubtedly the land of Japan”, and Japan would resolutely defend the territory while facing threats from China. He also said Taiwan is very important to Japan -- anything happening in Taiwan could directly affect Japan. The Japanese government will closely monitor Taiwan’s issues in a crisis management mode.

CNN: Kishi's speech is like preparing for a potential Sino-Japanese showdown

Kishi indicated that when facing China's actions in Senkaku Islands (Diaoyu Islands) and in the East China Sea, the Japanese government has already stated their determination to maintain the territory, and the number of Coast Guard ships dispatched is also more than that of Chinese ships. He stated there is no dispute of the Senkaku Islands problem existing between Japan and other countries.
