The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) war ships that have been sailing down the coast in the past week have now entered Australia’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off the coast of Tasmania.

A special economic zone, according to the United Nationals Convention of the Law of the Sea, is a region in which a sovereign state has exclusive rights regarding the exploration and use of marine resources in that area.
