China Coast Guard Senkaku Patrol... "Rescission of Japanese Fishing Boat"

China's coast guard says it has evicted a Japanese fishing boat from waters around the Senkaku Islands and Chinese Diaoyudao, which are in territorial dispute with Japan.

Chinese Coast Guard spokesman Liu Dejun said, "On the 15th and 16th, the Japanese fishing boat Tsurumaru illegally entered the territorial waters of Diaoyudao Province, China. The Chinese Coast Guard ship took necessary control measures and warned according to the law."

Japan's coast guard also said a fishing boat was operating in the waters of Senkaku and sent ships to monitor four nearby Chinese coast guard ships.

The Senkaku Islands are effectively controlled by Japan, and China has frequently sent coast guard ships to patrol, sparking territorial disputes.
