Chinese navy ship enters Japan waters near Kagoshima Pref. islands​

KYODO NEWS -Apr 27, 2022

A Chinese navy vessel has been spotted in Japan's territorial waters near islands of the southwestern prefecture of Kagoshima, the Defense Ministry said Wednesday.

A survey ship entered Japanese waters from west of Kuchinoerabu Island at around 11 p.m. Tuesday and sailed out of the territorial waters south of Yakushima Island at around 2:10 a.m. Wednesday, the ministry said.

It is the first such intrusion by a Chinese navy vessel that the Defense Ministry has confirmed and announced since last November. The Japanese government lodged a protest with China through diplomatic channels.

The Maritime Self-Defense Force and the Japan Coast Guard monitored the passage of the Chinese vessel.

Chinese ships have repeatedly entered Japan's territorial waters or navigated in adjacent areas, most notably near the Senkaku Islands, a group of East China Sea islets controlled by Japan but claimed by China under the name Diaoyu.

China's growing military presence in the South and East China seas has been a source of friction with countries in the region, with some having overlapping territorial claims.

Chinese navy ship spotted in Japanese waters off Kagoshima​

It was the fifth time the Chinese navy has entered territorial waters and was the first intrusion since November 2021.

TOKYO – A Chinese navy vessel was spotted in Japan’s territorial waters near islands in Kagoshima Prefecture on Tuesday, according to the Defense Ministry.

At about 8:30 p.m., a Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer and a Japan Coast Guard patrol vessel spotted a Shupang-class survey ship west of Kuchinoerabu Island in Japan’s contiguous zone, which covers an area about 22 kilometers beyond territorial waters.

The ship entered Japanese territorial waters off the island at about 11 p.m. and sailed out of territorial waters south off Yakushima island at about 2:10 a.m. on Wednesday, heading southeast.

It was the fifth time the Chinese navy has entered territorial waters and was the first intrusion since November 2021.

The government conveyed its concerns to the Chinese side through diplomatic channels.

The U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea allows a warship to sail through the territorial waters of another country as long as it is an “innocent passage” that does not involve hostile action. However, surveying activities are not considered to fall under this category.

The ministry has been gathering information on the purpose of the voyage.

A Shupang-class survey ship also entered Japanese territorial waters off Yakushima island in November 2021.
