Summary

Machine summary

CCGS Xiamen led a China Coast Guard task group through the territorial waters of Diaoyu Dao and its affiliated islands on Saturday, with the CCG characterizing the operation as a lawful rights-protection patrol. This is a routine presence operation of the kind the CCG conducts on a near-continuous basis around the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands; its value is as a data point in the running log of CCG incursions rather than evidence of any change in tempo or posture.
