BEIJING, China — A top judge in China said Beijing plans to set up an “international maritime judicial center” to help protect their country’s sovereignty and rights at sea.
Giving a work report at the annual meeting of china’s largely rubber-stamp parliament, Chief Justice Zhou Qiang said courts across china were working to implement the national strategy of building china into a “maritime power”.
On Monday, foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said in Beijing that the judicial center will be set up this year.
