China's largest ever fishing fleet begins fishing in the Nansha Islands in the South China Sea, as of Monday night. The fleet, including a 3,000-ton supply ship and 29 ships weighing more than 140 tonnes each, arrived in waters around the Yong-shu Reef on Sunday, after a 78-hour voyage from Hainan Province. They'll spend the next five to ten days fishing in these waters. [Photo: CNS/Wang Ziqian]
