China Issues Stern Warning to Vietnam Over Fishermen Activities

China has called on Vietnam to strengthen the education and management of its fishermen, cautioning against illegal activities in waters that China claims jurisdiction over. The statement comes amid Vietnam's protest regarding the detention of its fishermen and vessels in the disputed Paracel Islands.

China has issued a stern warning to Vietnam, advising the nation to enhance the education and management of its fishermen. This direction comes as tensions rise in the contested waters of the South China Sea.

During a press briefing, Lin Jian, spokesperson for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, emphasized the importance of preventing illegal activities in areas China considers to be under its jurisdiction. The directive follows ongoing disputes over the Paracel Islands.

Vietnam's recent protests against the alleged detention of its fishermen and their vessels in these waters have further inflamed the situation. As both nations continue to assert their claims, the region remains a hotbed of geopolitical tension.
