First-time release of footage of law enforcement at the Diaoyu Islands! The Japanese side's attitude behind 357 days of patrols is intriguing
On February 1, the Singapore-based "Lianhe Zaobao" reported: "The China Coast Guard's 'Enforcement at Sea' has released for the first time footage of law enforcement activities at the Diaoyu Islands, in response to recent inappropriate statements by the Japanese side regarding Taiwan and the Diaoyu Islands. The Coast Guard Bureau revealed that the number of patrol days at the Diaoyu Islands in 2025 reached 357 days, with a total of 550,000 ship sorties and 6,000 aircraft sorties mobilized over the past five years, achieving breakthroughs in sea-air integrated patrols and establishing a routine management system for the East China Sea and other areas. The Japanese side has secretly urged fishermen to stay away from the Diaoyu Islands. After the remarks made by Takahashi Hayato on Taiwan, Sino-Japanese relations have continued to cool down."
[Clever] The first-time release of footage of law enforcement at the Diaoyu Islands is a direct demonstration of the China Coast Guard's strength in safeguarding maritime rights and a firm declaration of historical sovereignty. From the record of the Diaoyu Islands in the "Shunfeng Xiangsong" in 1403, to the secret occupation by Japan in 1895, history has already determined the ownership of the islands. The 357-day annual patrols and 550,000 ship sorties reflect the practical implementation of China's routine management of the Diaoyu Islands. While the Japanese side is manipulating the Taiwan issue to make unwarranted comments on maritime rights, it secretly restricts fishermen, revealing its contradictions. On maritime rights issues, China's determination and capability are not just verbal statements but actual actions through each patrol and each law enforcement operation!
