中国公船が領海侵入　日本漁船に接近―沖縄・尖閣沖

　沖縄県石垣市の尖閣諸島沖で２０日午前と午後、中国海警局の「海警」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、領海外へ出るよう警告した。尖閣諸島沖での中国公船の領海侵入は７日以来で、今年１８～２０回目。
　第１１管区海上保安本部（那覇市）によると、海警１隻が２０日午前８時５５分～１１時１５分ごろ、大正島付近の領海に侵入。いったん領海外に出た後、午後５時２０分ごろに久場島南東から再び入り、同８時４０分ごろ、南小島東南東から出た。同４時５５分ごろには別の１隻が大正島東南東の領海に侵入。２隻は操業中の日本漁船に接近したり、付近を漂泊したりした。（2024/06/21-00:16）

A Chinese coast guard ship entered Japanese territorial waters off the Senkaku Islands in the city of Ishigaki, Okinawa Prefecture, on Thursday, the first such intrusion by an official Chinese ship since June 7 and the 18th this year.
   Japan Coast Guard patrol vessels warned the Chinese ship to leave the waters as it approached a Japanese fishing boat, according to the JCG's 11th regional headquarters in Naha, the capital of the southernmost Japan prefecture.
   The Chinese ship entered Japanese waters south-southeast of Taisho Island in the Senkaku chain around 8:55 a.m. and left the waters southwest of the island at around 11:15 a.m.
   The Japanese-administered islands in the East China Sea are also claimed by China, where they are called Diaoyu.
