A new Chinese cruise ship has embarked on its maiden voyage to the disputed Paracel Islands in the South China Sea, state news agency Xinhua said on Friday, the latest effort by Beijing to bolster its claims in the strategic waterway.

Chinese authorities plan to start a second cruise ship link to the disputed Paracel Islands in the South China Sea, state media reported on Monday, in a move that may irk Vietnam, which also claims the islets.

The death toll from a Chinese cruise ship that capsized on the Yangtze River climbed to 97 today as authorities righted the battered vessel and turned their efforts to recovering bodies still on board amid simmering anger from distraught families.

The death toll from a Chinese cruise ship that capsized on the Yangtze River has climbed to 82, state media said on Friday, as authorities began righting the vessel and said there was no chance of finding anyone else alive.

Amid the frenetic noise of a rescue operation and driving rain, a faint knocking was heard from within an upturned cruise ship on China's murky Yangtze river.
