SANSHA, June 21 (Xinhua) -- Recently, in China's Ren'ai Jiao and the surrounding territorial sea, personnel from the illegally grounded Philippine navy transport ship repeatedly damaged Chinese fishermen's nets and deployed the illegally obtained fishing nets to the nearby waters of their ship to obstruct the law enforcement of China Coast Guard (CCG). CCG law enforcers have retrieved these illegally obtained fishing nets and returned them to Chinese fishermen to recover their economic losses.
