The official name of the Marine Police is the Marine Police, which belongs to the Chinese People's Armed Police Force and was formally established as the "Marine Police Corps" of the Armed Police Force. It was formally established in 20 13, and transferred to the leadership of the Armed Police Force in 20 18.
Because most of the oceans are connected with international waters, the marine police actually undertake the tasks of public security police (public security), border police, anti-smuggling police and drug police. Therefore, the establishment is too small or the equipment is too poor to be competent, so it is very necessary to put it under the unified command of the armed police force.
Since it is a maritime armed police, the important difference between the marine police and the navy is that it does not undertake maritime combat tasks, mainly to safeguard maritime rights and interests, while dealing with low-intensity conflicts and crimes at sea. Their equipment is also called "marine police vessels" instead of warships (in fact, some marine police vessels are retired small warships), but generally the tonnage should not be too large, and large offensive weapons should not be loaded or dismantled, otherwise the nature will change when performing some special sensitive tasks.
