[quote=EASTCHINASEA,477625]Meanwhile, Japan’s Maritime Security Department has sent patrol ships and planes to closely follow Chinese patrol ships, but no action has been taken yet. China’s fishery administration ships have pledged to protect the fishermen. According to Captain Cai, his family has been fishing around the Diaoyu Islands for generations, with his forefathers telling him to use heavy nets here because of the rough waters. A former ship captain from an East China fishing company found documents recording China’s fishing operations from the 1970s to 1990s, which showed more evidence of China’s traditional usage and claim to the area. Zhao Yaozhong, former captain of Jiangshu Fishery company, says, "The documents logged the position of each fishing boat and the output of their nets. In my opinion, The Diaoyu Islands are our inherent territory just like other islands near the mainland. To us, it can be compared to the backyard of a crop farmer. Vessels from Hong Kong and other places in the South China Sea also head out there." China maintains that the Diaoyu Islands are an indisputable part of its territory. It hopes the issue can be resolved peacefully but reserves the right to take further action. [/quote]
