Russian and Chinese military activity around Japan increased in December. In late December, Japan and China hold the Foreign Minister’s meeting in Beijing. Japan and China agreed to make joint efforts to reduce concerns and increase cooperation and coordination. However, Chinese Coast Guard’s vessels repeatedly enter the waters around the Senkakus including Japanese territorial waters. As of December 29, the number of Chinese Coast Guard’s vessels entering the contiguous zones around the Senkakus had reached 353 days in a year. This is the highest frequency since the nationalization of the Senkaku Islands.
[Statistical Data as of December 26]
Japan Coast Guard (JCG) daily updates the statistical data on the number of China Coast Guard vessels entering in the contiguous zone around the Senkaku Islands and intruding into Japanese territorial waters. The below is from the website of JCG.
