>>> Vietnam rejects China’s unilateral fishing ban in East Sea
In a document sent to the People’s Committees of coastal cities and provinces, the ministry said the Chinese Bureau of Fisheries is implementing the suspension of fishing from 12 am on May 1 to 12 am on August 16 in various waters, some of which are within Vietnam’s sovereignty in the East Sea.
The cities and provinces were required to encourage fishermen to continue fishing in Vietnam’s waters and to ask them to go fishing in groups to support each other.
