BEIJING, May 8 (Xinhua) — The China Coast Guard (CCG) has dislodged a Japanese vessel that illegally entered China’s territorial waters near Diaoyu Island, CCG spokesman Liu Dejun said Thursday.
According to him, the BOC ships took necessary control measures in accordance with the law, issued warnings and forced the Japanese vessel to leave China’s territorial waters after it illegally entered the aforementioned waters between May 7 and 8.
Stressing that the Diaoyu Islands and their adjacent islands are China’s original territory, Liu Dejun called on the Japanese side to immediately stop all illegal activities in these waters.
“The BOC will continue to regularly conduct law enforcement activities in China’s territorial waters near Diaoyu Island to protect the country’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests,” Liu Dejun added. -0-
