China’s coast guard patrolled Japan-administered islands in the East China Sea almost daily last year, it said recently.
About East China Sea:
It is a marginal sea of the Western Pacific Ocean, located in East Asia.
It extends northeastward from the South China Sea, to which it is connected by the shallow Taiwan Strait between Taiwan and mainland China.
The Korea Strait connects it to the Sea of Japan.
To the north, the East China Sea opens up into the Yellow Sea.
The East China Sea and the South China Sea together form the China Sea.
The countries which border the sea include South Korea, Japan, the Republic of China (Taiwan), and the People’s Republic of China.
Rivers: The Yellow River (Huanghe) and the Yangtze River (Changjiang) discharge into the East China Sea.
Weather in the region is dominated by the monsoon winds.
The region is influenced by the Tsushima and Kuroshio Currents as well as by a strong upwelling area northeast of Taiwan.
Islands: The sea contains several islands, with the most significant being the Ryukyu Islands, which are part of Japan, and the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands.
China, Taiwan, and Japan all claim sovereignty over the Senkaku islands, which are under Japanese administration.
