Chinese President Xi Jinping inspected the headquarters of the Coast Guard in the East China Sea and said that China would "resolutely defend its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests" and instructed it to increase its law enforcement capabilities. The Japan Coast Guard has repeatedly incursed Japan's territorial waters in the waters around the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture, and there is a possibility that it will further strengthen its activities in the future under President Xi's instructions.
The state-run China Central Television reported on November 1 that President Xi Jinping inspected the headquarters of the Coast Guard in the East China Sea on November 11.
In it, President Xi said that "it is necessary to resolutely defend territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and crack down on illegal activities at sea in accordance with the law" after receiving a report on the mission, and instructed the government to increase its law enforcement capabilities.
In the East China Sea, coast guard vessels have repeatedly intruded into Japan's territorial waters in the waters around the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture, and Chinese buoys have been confirmed to be installed in the Japan's EEZ = Exclusive Economic Zone, and the Japan government is calling for immediate removal.
In November, Prime Minister Kishida met with President Xi in the United States, where he conveyed his serious concern about the situation in the East China Sea, including the Senkaku Islands.
In response, China has reiterated its uncompromising stance on its territorial claims in the East China Sea through President Xi's visit, and the Coast Guard may further strengthen its activities in the future under Xi's instructions.
