China conducted a special maritime traffic law-enforcement operation east of Taiwan, inspecting 198 passing vessels and rectifying violations involving three ships. This patrol followed announcements by the Philippines and Japan regarding formal talks on maritime boundaries involving waters off Taiwan.
