I have a question, what is the rule of jurisdiction of fishery in international waters? Coast guard of any countries can conduct investigation and arrest? In this case, not only USCG and PRC CG, but also Japan or Australia or anyone, right?

The congress put the China Coast Guard to be part of the People's Armed Police (PAP). The cost guard was merged among many civilian agencies such as fishery administration, custom agency, oceanic bureau and PAP boarder troops.

I know the US Coast Guard & China's Coast Guard have powers of arrest on the high seas. I'm sure other Coast Guards do also.

Check this PDF it should answer your question;

Thanks for your answer, but the link you provided pointed to your PC. You should have used upload/attachment than a link in this case.

Anyways, I have found another file which may be the one you tried to provide.

by ICRC.

In it and I quote page 476

Exception 1: Treaty/agreement-based pre-existing boarding
approvals
The pre-existing approvals “exception” is, in fact, merely a function of flag State
consent rather than an international law caveat upon flag State consent.38 A flag
State may pre-authorize MLE agents of another State to board a vessel with the
flag State’s nationality without having to first receive permission. However, such
approval is often limited to a specific set of situations, as opposed to being a
general grant of approval in all situations. For example, State A and State B may
agree, via a treaty or other legal instrument, that they can each halt, board and
search the other State’s vessels in international waters, where there is a
reasonable suspicion that the vessel is trafficking illicit drugs39 or illicit weapons
of mass destruction (WMD) materials.40 The agreement may specify, for
example, that this can be done without seeking flag State consent. Alternatively,
the agreement may specify that a request for flag State consent must still be
made, but that if no response is received after a set time limit (for example, four
hours), then flag State consent is deemed to have been granted. States may also ...

From this texts, it seems there is no existing law granting such activities in international water UNLESS there is an agreement between US and China beforehand granting each other's CG to board the ship (flag) of the other party (each other). Such pre-existent legal instrument is a prerequisite, not by default.

The may also deploy worldwide as the USCG does to support their regular navy, in local conflicts/crises/relief ops.

860 miles is too far for a coast guard vessel to operate. That's simply a naval vessel to me!

I remember when the rumour first came out that China coast would get 2 x 12,000 there was a buzz of excitement

Now they are both out and on patrol

Still think that central exhaust funnel is too big though

Is this a new cutter? We have seen this ship before being constructed in the same shed as the Type 054As and 056s are.

This is the first time we have seen the back of it, and surprise, its got four pumpjets. Posted by cirr in PakDef.
