Clash between Taiwanese boats and Japan Coast Guard

On 25 September 2012 when 40-50 Taiwanese fishing boats entered Japanese territorial water en route to the Diaoyutai Islands, Japan Coast Guard patrol boats fired water cannon at the fishing boats. Japan told the Taiwanese side that this dispute had to be solved by the high-rank level officials. Wang responded that his Coast Guard Administration ships would fire water back at the Japanese ships in the future if the other side resort to it first.

Diaoyutai Islands fishery water

After signing the historic fishery agreement between ROC and Japan on 10 April 2013, Wang said that any fishing boat entering the Senkaku Islands water within 12 nautical miles from outside Taiwan will be expelled, including the Japanese fishing boats. This triggered anger from Mainland China.
