Chinese Maritime Surveillance (CMS) to commission 36 cutters in 3 years.

Chinese Maritime Surveillance (CMS) to commission 36 new cutters from 2010 to 2012 including seven 1500 ton class, fifteen 1000 ton class and fourteen 600 ton class "to better protect China's maritime interests".

Not sure what is the urgency but it sure helps to have a strong domestic shipbuilding industry  to handle bursting demands.

Do these cutters have any armaments or offensive/defensive capabilities?

CMS ships don't have arms since they are under State Oceanic Administration, but Coast Guard (Chinese name Maritime Police, which is under Ministry of Public Security) ship does have light armament.

There are talks of forming a unified coast guard in the future, so things might change.
