"BEIJING — Around 1,000 Chinese fishing boats are expected to arrive in waters near the Senkaku Islands claimed by China later Monday, the state-run China National Radio reported, in what may be Beijing's additional countermeasures over Japan's nationalization of the islets."

its their version of the Falklands War!!

Fishing Boats?
Are they the same as the Russian Trawlers that we use to put up with?

Aye.

For fishing boats - read = Poor local Fisherman who had no choice in sailing out to this irrelevant island as an excuse for the chinese navy to deploy a few coastguard cutters / frigates to 'protect' them from the mighty japanese naval presence in the area = non-existent. Some unlucky fisherman will be sunk 'somehow' no doubt , and it will become a no-go zone.

Just another excuse to flag-wave and spout rhetoric whilst doing some shady landgrabs...
