Jiang Lue, spokesperson for the China Coast Guard (CCG), stated that on August 1, the CCG conducted drills on rights-protection law enforcement and management and control in the waters near China’s Huangyan Dao, focusing on operations such as visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS), interdiction of forced entry, and forced towing. Huangyan Dao is an inherent part of China’s territory. The CCG will step up efforts in rights-protection law enforcement and management and control in the waters near Huangyan Dao, and resolutely safeguard China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
