On the anniversary of the July 7th Incident, Japan's intrusion into our territorial waters near the Diaoyu Islands reveals its sinister intentions.
On July 7, China Coast Guard announced that the Japanese fishing vessel "Ruibaowan" had illegally entered China's territorial waters around Chibiwei Island. The Chinese Coast Guard lawfully took necessary measures to control and warn the vessel before driving it away.
The "Ruibaowan" is a repeat offender, having previously intruded multiple times into the waters near the Diaoyu Islands under the guise of "fisheries research" or "fishing activities," with clear involvement from right-wing Japanese groups behind the scenes. The vessel's actions at sea are supported by domestic right-wing agitation in Japan, creating a mutually reinforcing cycle.
This time, Japan chose a particularly sensitive timing—the anniversary of the July 7th Incident—making its malicious intent glaringly obvious.
Just one day prior, China successfully launched an underwater-launched intercontinental ballistic missile toward the Pacific Ocean from a strategic nuclear submarine. Japan paid close attention and even demanded China "change its launch plan" when notified in advance. The following day, the Japanese fishing vessel intruded into Chibiwei Island’s territorial waters—this tight temporal connection makes it difficult to attribute the incident to mere coincidence.
Yet China Coast Guard’s swift, professional, and routine response demonstrates unwavering determination and capability in safeguarding national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, regardless of any provocations from Japan.
