The Chinese vessels encroached on the Japanese waters as they followed two Japanese fishing boats patrolling the region’s resources. People’s Liberation Army Navy [PLAN] ships and two other Chinese vessels entered the territorial waters off Taisho Island between 4:20 a.m. and 4:50 a.m. on Friday, said the Japanese Coast Guard in a statement.
