China Coast Guard patrols to its east are ‘provocative act’:Taiwan says

TAIPEI (News Agency) Chinese Coast Guard patrols to the east of Taiwan are a “provocative act” and the military will closely ‌coordinate with the island’s Coast Guard in responding, Defence Minister Wellington Koo said on Monday.
China, which views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, was angered after Japan and the Philippines said last month they would begin formal talks on delimiting their maritime boundaries, viewing that ​as involving waters off Taiwan. Delimitation is the process of legally establishing the outer limits of a state.According to the unofficial results of all 82 polling stations in GBA-3 Gilgit-Baltistan constituency, independent candidate Syed Sohail Abbas was declared victorious with 7,877 votes, while Aftab Haider Advocate of the Pakistan Peoples Party came in second with 7,361 votes.
