Description:

“The Chinese government announced in March 2013 its plan to centralize bureaucratic control over its maritime law enforcement agencies. It decided to combine its several separate maritime law enforcement bodies into an integrated one under the State Oceanic Administration (SOA), which is a part of the Ministry of Land and Nautral Resources. This act is considered a policy change after years and years of debate among Chinese policy-makers and academics who have called for building a national coast guard to increase the state’s maritime enforcement capacity.”
