Is a maritime surveillance vessel a warship? Why aren't you afraid of warship patrols

You're wrong Oh, only powerful countries can afford to use the maritime surveillance ships to patrol their territorial waters. When Japan and China faced each other in the East China Sea, both sides used marine surveillance ships.

Vietnam and the Philippines use warships to patrol because they don't have enough power.

Maritime surveillance confronting warships is not a good thing, but it's not a bad thing either, it's one of the advances in China's maritime power.

In the Diaoyu Islands, Japan deployed the Maritime Safety Agency, not the Maritime Self-Defense Force.

Japan's Maritime Security Agency is part of Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation.
