According to CCG spokesperson Liu Dejun, the Japanese vessel entered the waters of the islands, prompting the CCG to take legal enforcement actions. The CCG issued warnings and successfully drove the vessel out of the area.
"Diaoyu Islands and its affiliated islands are China's inherent territory," Liu stated, urging Japan to halt any illegal activities in these waters. He also emphasized China's ongoing commitment to regular law enforcement activities in the Diaoyu Islands' territorial waters, asserting the nation's dedication to safeguarding its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights.
