CHINA will conduct routine patrols near the Diaoyu Islands to assert the country's sovereignty and protect fishermen, a Ministry of Agriculture official said yesterday.
More 1,000 Chinese fishing boats enter Diaoyu waters each year, with a total catch exceeding 150,000 tons.
However, increasing harassment from Japanese ships in recent years has severely affected China's fishing activities.
The ministry has asked fishery authorities in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces to include Diaoyu waters in their regular patrols.
