Int’l maritime congress raises concern over East Sea issue
The fifth annual International Maritime Congress recently held in Poland raised concern over the complicated developments in the East Sea issue, saying that they are directly linked with China’s maritime strategy.
They discussed four topics of transport, seaports and shipbuilding plants; maritime education and renovation; maritime law, finance and safety; seafood and ecology.
Several opinions analysed dangers in the East Sea, especially China’s militarisation of islands and shoals which has destroyed a mass of natural coral reefs as well as its construction of artificial islands.
