The Chinese embassy responded that it attached great importance to protecting the environment and the ocean."We hope that the Peruvian public is not deceived by false information," it said on Twitter.Chile´s foreign minister said that Chilean officials had not made contact with the Chinese government. He said the fleet includes private ships "and some that may have some connection with the state."Chile´s long Pacific coastline offers an abundance of fish and shellfish, a critical source of income for fishermen in communities throughout the country.ReutersLog in, or to save articles for later.
