Chinese survey vessel leaves Japanese waters
The Chinese research vessel "Kexiu" has completed unauthorized survey operations in the Japanese economic zone after receiving orders from the Japanese Coast Guard to cease activities. The ship was spotted near Ishigaki Island in Okinawa in September, where it was conducting operations involving extending wire-like objects into the sea. Japan announced that the number of unauthorized surveys by Chinese vessels has more than doubled compared to last year, with a total of 14 operations since the beginning of the year, compared to six in 2022. This comes amid increasing tensions related to maritime boundary negotiations between Japan and the Philippines.
