A Beijing-based think tank released a report in early August to show that a few hundred Vietnamese fishing boats had entered Cambodia-controlled maritime areas in the Gulf of Thailand since June.
The South China Sea Strategic Situation Probing Initiative (SCSPI), which is affiliated with the Peking University’s Institute of Ocean Research, published a report titled “Vietnamese Fishing Vessels’ Illegal Activities Remained High in July”.
It reported Vietnamese fishing vessel movements near China, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Cambodia.
