Sea jurisdiction coverage ruling

CHINA has extended its maritime jurisdiction to cover all seas under its jurisdiction in an effort to resolutely safeguard the country’s maritime rights and interests, said a work report of the Supreme People’s Court.

This was achieved by the issuance of a regulation on judicial interpretation, said the report, delivered by Chief Justice Zhou Qiang, noting that the regulation contributed to China’s strategy of becoming a major maritime power.

According to the regulation in effect since last August, jurisdictional seas not only include inland waters and territorial seas, but also cover regions including contiguous zones, exclusive economic zones, continental shelves, and other sea areas under China’s jurisdiction.
