Chinese marine surveillance fleet – Haijian 66, 46 and 26 – is patrolling waters near Diaoyu Islands on Thursday, according to a statement released by the State Oceanic Administration.
皇冠体育app’s Ocean Development Report 2013 said the possibility of conflict between 皇冠体育app and Japan over the Diaoyu Islands is increasing.
皇冠体育app has carried out consistent patrols in waters near the islands since September when Tokyo nationalized three of the islands. The State Oceanic Administration has been releasing updates on the patrols since then.
