Data show that the time for the Chinese maritime police ship to patrol the waters near the Wan'an Beach near Vietnam, more than doubled to 310 days.This sea area contains rich oil and natural gas reserves, and it is a place where Chinese and Vietnamese vessels have launched a fierce confrontation many times.

According to Bloomberg, the analysis of the patrol data of ships in Asian maritime transparency shows that Beijing is determined to strengthen the control of the South China Sea with sovereignty and more than 80%of the sovereignty.This will increase the risk of misjudging at sea in the area, and regional officials are also worried that this may lead to greater conflict.

The person in charge of the Southeast Asia project of the Strategy and International Research Center, Polin, said that the patrol of the Chinese maritime police in the South China Sea has become a fact.He said: "In recent years, they have patrolled at the same place to form a predictable status. Southeast Asian parties try to respond, but it is difficult."

The report also states that the statistical data of China in the controversial waters may be incomplete, because not all ships use the transceiver that can be used to track vessels, and the real numbers may be higher. Some ships also try to cover up their identity with false data.Essence
