On the margins of the ASEAN Foreign<br \/>\n      Ministers&#8217; Meeting, foreign ministers from ASEAN and various nations gathered in Manila to hold a range of discussions, but the gap in positions between China and these countries remains wide.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Under these circumstances, the United States is advancing initiatives related to maritime security. It has deployed naval vessels to Southeast Asia and started constructing a type of transport ship it had not possessed for many years.<\/p>\n<p>\n      Additionally, the U.S. is making progress on efforts regarding the Northern Sea Route. While the U.S. has historically lagged behind Russia in Arctic development, it has begun procuring new icebreakers and strengthening coastal surveillance in the Arctic region. Regarding<br \/>\n      this route, China is also advancing its utilization of the Northern Sea Route, having announced the launch of its first regular maritime transport service using the Arctic route. Russia is also constructing new icebreakers, aiming for year-round utilization of the Northern<br \/>\n      Sea Route.\n    <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n    <strong>[Statistical Data as of June 30]<br \/> <\/strong>\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n    The Japan Coast Guard (JCG) daily updates the statistical data on the number of China Coast Guard vessels entering in the contiguous zone around the Senkaku Islands and intruding into Japanese territorial waters.
