According to *Global Times*, China announced the commencement of special maritime operations in waters east of Taiwan.

The reason for this operation is Japan's and the Philippines' decision to demarcate boundaries in the region.

China believes this move violates the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

Initiated by China's Ministry of Transport on June 6, and coordinated with the maritime administrations of Fujian and Guangdong provinces, the East China Sea Navigation Safety Center, and the East China Sea Search and Rescue Bureau, this operation aims to fully implement China’s maritime law enforcement functions, enhance enforcement capabilities, strengthen control over critical waterways, ensure maritime safety, and safeguard national interests.

During the recent visit of the Philippine president to Japan, both sides issued a joint statement announcing the launch of negotiations on delimiting exclusive economic zones and continental shelves between Japan and the Philippines—areas located east of Taiwan Island.

Alexander Perengiev, professor at the Department of Political Analysis at Plekhanov Russian University of Economics and head of the political science field, stated: "China is demonstrating through its actions that it will firmly defend its own interests against Japan and the Philippines."

"I believe there won't be any serious conflict here," said Perengiev. "Given China's own unwillingness to engage in military conflict with anyone, I am confident that no major conflict will occur. Japan and the Philippines will not act, and neither will the United States."
