Mew Choo eyes another memorable outing in Guangzhou
Malaysia Star
I don’t think I played that well in the India pen but I did much better in the ABC (Asian Championships) last week. “I think I have regained my match fitness. There is time for me to improve on my touches in the next three weeks before we leave (for Guangzhou). ” In the ABC Mew Choo put up a good fight against former world junior champion Wang Lin of China before bowing out 21-23 16-21 in the quarter-finals. Malaysia definitely need a revitalised and fully fit Mew Choo to help deliver a crucial point if they are to make it to the Sudirman Cup semi-finals for the first time. Malaysia are in Division ne of the championships which also has China Indonesia Denmark South Korea England Hong Kong and Japan. The draw for a two-group preliminary rounds will be made on April 25.
China sends more ships to patrol territorial waters
China Daily
The ship will be among other giant vessels such as Guangdong’s Haibiao 32 and Shanghai’s Haixun 21 involved in the patrol mission “to strengthen supervision and inspection in China’s maritime territories and guarantee China’s rights in the South China Sea”. China has been strengthening its administration and supervision in the South China Sea following several incidents earlier this year including a US naval vessel’s intrusion into China’s Exclusive Economic Zone and some neighboring countries’ claims over China’s territory in the South China Sea. n March 10 the administration of Fishery and Fishing Harbor Supervision of the South China Sea in Guangzhou sent China Yuzheng 311 the country’s biggest fishery patrol vessel to curb illegal fishing. It was joined on March 26 by the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region’s largest fishery administration ship China Yuzheng 45001. fficials also said more ships would be sent to patrol the “disputed” area in the next three to five years. Zhou Zhonghai an international maritime law expert with China University of Political Science and Law said it is “natural and necessary” for China to strengthen supervision in the South China Sea as nearly half of China’s maritime territory is pestered by “disputes” from some other countries. “It is very crucial for China to guard its maritime territories this year as a new chart of maritime territory has to be submitted for approval to the United Nations before May 13 and many neighboring countries are eyeing the opportunity” Zhou said noting eight neighboring countries have had disputes with China over sovereignty.
