Fending off China's illegal fishing

The unit has been bolstered in size to deal with the growing problem of Chinese fishing boats encroaching into South Korea’s waters.

Korea still has a Coast Guard? I thought the president ordered that they be disbanded?

, ahh … Kind of like how our Coast Guard was transferred from the Department of Transportation to Homeland Security after 9/11. A knee-jerk political posture that didn’t make a whole lot of practical difference in what they did or how they operated.
