Chinese Fishing Fleet Only Sails to Senkakus Under Order of Beijing

Having overfished waters near the Chinese coast, captains of fishing boats based in Shipu port here are eager to venture much farther, even close to the disputed Senkaku Islands, where the fishing is good.But many fishermen in Shipu, one of China's six largest fishing ports, admit they only dare sail near the Senkakus when the Chinese government orders them to do so under its protection.Fishermen were busy ahead of the scheduled opening of the fishing season on Sept. 16 after a period of about four months when fishing is not permitted.
