Abstract

Increasing Chinese maritime law enforcement capabilities in the South China Sea (SCS) ostensibly to protect the interests of its fishermen, may only exacerbate tensions in one of the world's closely monitored regional flashpoints. This is especially so in the context of increasing commercial fishing operations by SCS littoral states and the absence of a multilateral understanding on fishing in the tightly-contested area.
