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...
