Description

This paper analyzes the need for mobilizing China's vast civilian vessel fleet for maritime rights protection, stressing that civilian forces are required to confront foreign vessels "on an equal footing" and compensate for inadequacies in official law enforcement capacity. Key legal challenges include the high degree of privatization and organizational deficiencies, rendering the traditional executive order mode ineffective. The article calls for urgently improving the legal system by formulating specialized mobilization laws, such as a Civilian Vessel Mobilization Law (《民用船只动员法》) or a Merchant Vessel Law (《商船法》).
