China's marine surveillance vessels are continuing routine patrols and law enforcement activities in territorial waters around the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea.
The State Oceanic Administration says the China Marine Surveillance fleet, comprising of four ships, spotted four Japanese coast guard ships at 5:30 a.m. They were radioed, and told to stop intercepting China’s law enforcement activities, and immediately leave China’s territorial seas. The fleet returned to the Diaoyu Islands waters Saturday after two typhoons left the area.
