Taiwan Coast Guard 'Expels' Chinese Ships From Restricted Waters
Taiwan's coast guard expelled four Chinese government ships from restricted waters 30 nautical miles southwest of the island's southern tip on Sunday, after the two sides exchanged testy warnings. The incident escalated tensions following Japan and the Philippines announcing formal talks on maritime boundary delimitation. Taiwan deployed seven coast guard vessels to warn away the Chinese ships, including three coast guard vessels, in response to what Beijing called a 'special maritime traffic law-enforcement operation.'
