BEIJING, Dec. 2 (Xinhua) — A Japanese fishing vessel was warned and dispersed on Tuesday after illegally entering the territorial waters of China's Diaoyu Islands, China Coast Guard (CCG) spokesman Liu Dejun said.
According to him, the BOC ships took the necessary control measures in accordance with the law, issued warnings and forced the Japanese vessel to leave Chinese territorial waters.
Stressing that the Diaoyu Islands and their surrounding islands are China's inherent territory, Liu Dejun called on the Japanese side to immediately cease all illegal and provocative activities in these waters.
"The BOC will continue to conduct law enforcement activities in the territorial waters of the Diaoyu Islands to protect the country's territorial sovereignty, as well as maritime rights and interests," Liu Dejun added.
