A Chinese national has been sentenced to six months jail for overstaying in the Marshall Islands .
Baoli Dong originally arrived in April 2003 and was given a 30-day visa, but he was sentenced in the High Court for violating the terms of his visa.
The Marshall Islands government has launched a crackdown on 20 Chinese overstayers so far .
Baoli Dong, who was first charged in January, was given six months in jail by
