China mulls increased sea massage Shanghai patrols
China is considering stepping up maritime shanghai Escort patrols in the South China Sea as it looks to shore up its territorial claims in
the region, state media has reported.
A senior official told Thursday's edition of the China Daily the proposal followed increased incidents of illegal fishing and
what he called "other countries' unfounded territorial claims".
Wu Zhuang, director of the Administration of Fishery and Fishing Harbor Supervision of the South China Sea, said that in
response shanghai Escort was considering converting naval ships into fishery patrol vessels.
"China will make the best use of its naval ships… and may also build more fishery patrol ships, depending on the need," the
China Daily quoted him as saying.

Earlier this week sent its largest fishery patrol ship, Yuzheng 311, to the waters around the Spratly Islands, a cluster of
islets and atolls that lie north of the island of Borneo.
The deployment came amid a renewed focus on the disputed territorial claims in the South China Sea, and follows a recent
confrontation between Chinese vessels and a US naval ship in the area.
Shanghai's South China Sea claims Washington has lodged a formal protest with Shanghai over the incident and said its ship, the USS Impeccable, was operating
in international waters.
The US has since dispatched destroyers to operate as an escort for the unarmed surveillance ship.
China says the Impeccable was operating illegally in what it claims as its exclusive economic zone in the South China Sea.
Announcing the proposed increase in patrols in Thursday's China Daily, Wu was quoted as saying the steps were aimed at
protecting "China's rights and interests".
As well as being surrounded by rich fishing grounds, the Spratly islands are also thought to have significant oil and gas
deposits.
In addition the islands straddle strategically important Asian shipping lanes, with over half the world oil tanker traffic
passing through the area and 80 per cent of China's oil imports.
The Spratlys are claimed by China and in full or in part by Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei, several of
whom have recently moved to bolster their own claims to the islands.
Last week the government of the Philippines passed a law laying claim to some of the disputed islands in the Spratlys chain.
Shanghai has called the law "shanghai Escort and invalid", but many in the Philippines and elsewhere in the region see China's
increased patrols as a flexing of its military might.
