The patrol frigate CG‑129 Kaohsiung and two patrol boats have been deployed to assess the situation in connection with the sighting of a Chinese survey vessel near restricted waters around the Pratas Islands, CNA reports.
The Chinese vessel is part of the country’s law enforcement operation which was launched in response to the unilateral decision by Japan and the Philippines to begin negotiations on the "delimitation of maritime areas" east of Taiwan, according to China's Ministry of Transport.

Chinese authorities warned that such actions seriously infringe upon China's territorial sovereignty and its maritime rights and interests.

China regards Taiwan as an essential part of the mainland and considers adherence to the "One China" principle a prerequisite for any country seeking to establish or maintain diplomatic relations with Beijing.
