STORYLINE
China and environmental observers said on Friday cleanup efforts on the country's largest reported oil spill were progressing, but the environmental and economic damage was clear.
The cleanup marred by the drowning of a worker this week, his body coated in crude - continued over a 165 square mile (430 square kilometre) stretch of the Yellow Sea off the northeastern city of Dalian, one of China's major ports and strategic oil reserve sites.
"We will continue to be persistent, and will win the battle against the oil," said Division Commander Sun Jianli.
According to Greenpeace campaigner Zhong Yu, the spill will definitely have a negative impact on the environment.
"It doesn't matter if there is this kind of oil leak from Dalian or Mexico. Once it leaks it will cause damage to the environment. It is impossible to totally reverse the damage," Zhong said.
Fishing communities living close to the area affected by the spill said that the impact on their livelihood was severe.
Tourists also complained that the spill had spoiled their beach holiday.
"I am not a local resident, I just came to visit for one or two days. Now we can't swim. We are disappointed," said Bai Fan.
China National Petroleum Corporation said on Thursday that the pipeline that exploded and caused the oil spill last Friday had resumed operations.
The blast had reduced oil shipments from part of China's strategic oil reserves to the rest of the country.
The cause of the explosion that started the spill was still not clear.
