Description
This draft legislation defines the China Coast Guard Bureau (CCGB) as an important maritime armed force and the unified state administrative law enforcement body responsible for safeguarding national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. It grants the CCGB comprehensive law enforcement duties, including security, customs, and environmental protection. Key powers include the authority to take measures such as detention, forcible eviction, or forcible towing of foreign vessels illegally entering China's internal waters or territorial sea. The draft explicitly authorizes the CCGB to use weapons to stop unlawful infringements and permits the forcible dismantling of foreign-constructed buildings or structures.
