中国公船が領海侵入　海警法施行後初―沖縄・尖閣沖

　沖縄県石垣市の尖閣諸島沖で６日、中国海警局の「海警」２隻が日本の領海に侵入した。日本漁船に接近しようとしたため、海上保安庁の巡視船が漁船の安全を確保し、領海から出るよう警告した。
　尖閣諸島沖での中国公船の領海侵入は今年４回目。中国で海警局の船舶による武器使用を明記した「海警法」が今月１日に施行されてからは初めて。
　第１１管区海上保安本部（那覇市）によると、２隻は午前４時４５～５０分ごろ、南小島南の領海に侵入。直後、同島南約２２キロの海上で操業していた日本漁船２隻（乗組員計６人）に接近する動きを見せ、午後１時１５分ごろ領海を出た。（2021/02/06-15:16）

Chinese coast guard ships sailed in Japanese territorial waters off the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture, southernmost Japan, on Saturday, attempting to approach Japanese fishing vessels.
   A Japan Coast Guard patrol ship secured the safety of the fishing vessels and warned the Chinese ships to leave Japanese waters.
   This is the fourth such intrusion by a Chinese government ship this year, and the first since Monday's enforcement of China's new law to allow the Chinese coast guard to use force against foreign parties for what Beijing views as a violation of sovereignty or jurisdiction.
   The two Haijing ships entered Japanese waters south of Minamikojima in the Senkaku chain roughly between 4:45 a.m. (7:45 p.m. Friday GMT) and 4:50 a.m., according to the Japan Coast Guard's 11th regional headquarters in Naha, the capital of Okinawa Prefecture.
   The Chinese ships moved close to the two Japanese fishing vessels with crew members of six in total when they were about 22 kilometers south of Minamikojima.
