According to the WeChat official account "China Coast Guard", Liu Dejun, spokesperson for the China Coast Guard Bureau, stated that at 11:19 on May 3rd, a Japanese civilian aircraft illegally entered Chinese airspace over the Diaoyu Islands while China Coast Guard vessels were conducting routine patrols in accordance with the law. The aircraft left the airspace at 11:24. The Chinese Coast Guard vessels promptly took necessary control measures and launched helicopter-borne warnings to drive it away.

The Diaoyu Islands and their affiliated islets are inherent territories of China. We urge the Japanese side to immediately stop all illegal activities. The China Coast Guard will continue to carry out law enforcement activities in the territorial waters and airspace of the Diaoyu Islands to safeguard national territorial sovereignty and marine rights and interests.
