How China is weaponizing its fishing fleet

The video discusses China's use of a maritime militia to assert control over the South China Sea. These so-called fishing boats are equipped with military-grade weapons and are used to protect Chinese fishing fleets and assert territorial claims. The boats are faster and more heavily armed than typical fishing vessels, posing a significant threat. A recent incident at Woodson Reef, within the Philippines' territorial waters, exemplifies this aggressive strategy.
