The Sankei Shimbun July 27, 2020 10:16 pm
On July 18, the Japan Coast Guard (JCG) confirmed that a Chinese naval survey vessel which had been operating without permission within Japan’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) near Okinotorishima continuously for ten days had been dragging what appeared to be a wire used for ocean survey purposes for three straight days.
The Tokyo government has protested to China about the intrusion, but is clearly worried that Beijing will continue its provocative activities in the area, as it has in the waters around the Senkaku Islands.
