Rescuers searching for survivors 1 are coping with fresh landslides 2 and aftershocks near the quake epicenter in southwestern China's Yunnan province.
The 72 hour optimum-rescue period has passed and finding survivors is becoming much less likely.
As of Wednesday, the death toll 3 of the deadly earthquake has risen sharply to 589.
Local authorities say the increase is due to rescuers finally arriving in areas that were previously 4 inaccessible 5.
Meantime, national meteorological center says that rainfall is expected in the quake-hit regions in next three days.
Strong aftershocks ranging from 5 to 6 magnitudes are also forecasted in the coming days.
Chinese authorities are demanding their counterparts in the Philippines guarantee the legitimate 6 rights of 12 Chinese fishermen who have been handed lengthy 7 prison terms for illegal fishing.
A foreign ministry 8 statement says authorities have been demanding just treatment for the fishermen ever since the group was picked up in Philippines waters in April of last year.
A court in the Western Philippines convicted the men on Tuesday of illegal fishing. The captain of the crew got a 12-year prison term, while the rest of the fishermen received sentences ranging from six to 10 years.
