"Taiwanese oceanographic research vessel surveys to violate Japan's EEZ off the coast of Senkaku with "wires" underwater
It was confirmed yesterday that a Taiwanese marine research vessel was extending a wire-like object into the sea inside Japan's EEZ (=Exclusive Economic Zone) off the coast of the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture.
According to the 11th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters, before 9:00 on July 12th, inside Japan's EEZ about 183 kilometers north from Taisho Island of the Senkaku Islands, Taiwanese oceanographic research vessel "Shinkaiken No. 1" was confirmed extending an object like a wire from the stern into the sea.
A Japan Coast Guard vessel requested the Taiwanese research vessel to stop research activities without Japan's consent by radio but there was no response from the Taiwanese vessel.
It was the first time since June 15th that the Taiwanese marine research vessel had been confirmed to be active in Japan's EEZ."

To see their source data, and where every country ranks in a number of categories, look at the Legatum Prosperity Index; click the healthcare header to sort by that column (third from right).

And Governance is the third column - don't look for the US at the top there either. View attachment 732622
Oh and the first column is

You will find the US there at #69, below a lot of countries that Americans consider unsafe

It was not intended as political. Just informative. Lots of other countries will find the report just as depressing as I do as an Australian. The opening comment is because Americans, like so many other nationalities, consider themselves as the best in everything but are more vocal about it - especially the Texans.
