On June 1, Jiang Lue, spokesperson for the China Coast Guard, stated that on June 1, the China Coast Guard's Daishan frigate fleet conducted law enforcement patrols in the waters east of Taiwan. This is a necessary action taken in response to Japan and the Philippines' unilateral announcement of initiating negotiations on the delimitation of the waters east of Taiwan, which seriously infringes upon China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights. We urge Japan and the Philippines to immediately cease all illegal actions that infringe upon China's sovereignty and rights. The China Coast Guard will continue to strengthen control over the relevant waters and resolutely safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights with concrete actions.
