Xinhua News Agency, Fuzhou On June 6, the Ministry of Transport organized the Fujian Maritime Safety Administration, Guangdong Maritime Safety Administration, East China Sea Navigation Support Center, and East China Sea Rescue Bureau to carry out special law enforcement operations for maritime traffic in the eastern waters of Taiwan Island to fully fulfill my country's maritime administrative law enforcement jurisdiction, enhance deep-sea patrol law enforcement and traffic control capabilities in key waters, ensure maritime traffic safety, and safeguard national rights and interests. This is a necessary action taken in response to Japan and the Philippines' unilateral announcement to launch "maritime delimitation negotiations" east of China's Taiwan Island, which seriously violated China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
