　　China Coast Guard Expels Japanese Boat Intruded into the Territorial Waters of China’s Diaoyu Dao in Accordance With the Law

　　3月16日，日本“朝丸”號漁船非法進入中國釣魚島領海，中國海警艦艇依法對其採取必要管控措施並警告驅離。釣魚島及其附屬島嶼是中國固有領土，我們敦促日方立即停止在該海域的一切侵權挑舋行徑。中國海警將持續在釣魚島海域開展維權執法，維護國家主權和海洋權益。

　　On March 16th, Japanese fishing boat Asamaru intruded into the territorial waters of China’s Diaoyu Dao. China Coast Guard (CCG) vessels took necessary administrative measures and issued warnings to expel it in accordance with the law. Diaoyu Dao and its affiliated islands are China’s inherent territory. We urge the Japanese side to immediately stop all rights-violation and provocative acts in relevant waters. The CCG will continue to conduct rights-protection and law enforcement operations in the waters around Diaoyu Dao, and resolutely safeguard China’s sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
