Tokyo, on Tuesday, claimed that China is conducting unwarranted maritime medical research within its exclusive economic area centered on the Pacific Ocean’s southern island. The alleged action occurred on Monday near Okinotori, a secluded island in the Philippine Sea, about halfway between Taiwan and Guam. China has stated that it does not make up an area. A Chinese maritime survey vessel “extending what appeared to be a wire into the waters in Japan’s exclusive economic zone ( EEZ ) 270 kilometers east of Okinotori island” was discovered by Japan’s coastguard on Monday, according to government spokesman Yoshimasa Hayashi. The coastguard requested that the exercise stop because the ship’s maritime clinical research did not obtain Japan’s consent, and we requested that we file a political protest with the Chinese side. According to Hayashi, the Chinese ship left the Iss on Monday at around 10:45 p. A southern state has right under international law to the management of natural sources and other financial activities within its Iss, which is located within 200 nautical miles or 370 kilometers of its coasts. European vessels must obtain prior consent before conducting scientific research in another country’s EEZ for economic reasons. China has asserted that Japan’s claim is invalid because Okinotori, located about 1,700 kilometers ( 1,050 miles ) south of Tokyo, is just rocks and not an island. Beijing has stated that it cannot be excluded from the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea as a framework where Japan is laid its EEZ. China’s foreign government stated on Tuesday that Japan’s say “violates global law.” Chinese research vessels “executed the flexibility of the great seas” in the area, according to Spokeswoman Mao Ning, and Tokyo had” little right to interfere.” Taiwan and South Korea even contest Japan’s assertion. A Chinese fishing vessel that was operating in the area was briefly seized by Japan in 2016. In an effort to prevent water degradation, Japan has in recent years invested millions of dollars in planting marine around the island.
