问：今天下午，中央电视台刚播出一条新闻，中国海警在上海附近的公海抓获几艘走私船只，一艘船在向另一艘船输油，有人猜测这是否与朝鲜有关。自从有关国家开始对走私活动进行监管以来，中方是否也加强了对走私活动的监管？

Q: The China Central Television (CCTV) this afternoon reported that the Chinese coast guards seized several ships involved in smuggling on the high seas near Shanghai, as oil was transferred from a ship to another.
