China's coast guard ordered a Japanese fishing vessel and several patrol ships to leave the waters surrounding the Diaoyu Islands, after they had illegally entered the Diaoyu territorial waters. This incident is part of a pattern of China's assertive maritime behavior, which includes a motto of 'My waters are mine and only mine, but your waters are also mine.' China's coast guard has been conducting intrusive patrolling within the exclusive economic zones (EEZs) of Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Additionally, China made 'temporary special arrangements' to allow the Philippines to deliver supplies to a disputed reef in the South China Sea.
