Bad weather brought by a typhoon had ended China's coast guard record-breaking patrols in waters around disputed islands in the East China Sea.China has been deploying coast guard ships—some of them were armed with suspected autocannons—around the Senkaku Islands, also known as the Diaoyu Islands in China. They had patrolled for 215 consecutive days as of Tuesday, setting a new longest record, Japan News reported.
Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore, told Newsweek that the enhanced presence of the Chinese coast guard in the disputed islands aimed at 'demonstrating China's effective administration over the isles.'Japanese media suspected the Chinese ships leaving the area could be due to the approach of Typhoon Gaemi. It was situated west of Yonaguni, a Japanese island located 93 miles south of the Senkakus, as of Wednesday night, Japan's meteorological agency reported.
