Chinese fisherman illegally fishing in Korean waters have attacked coastguard personnel sent to remove them, with at least 1 fisherman dying when a Chinese ship sank after it allegedly rammed a coastguard ship.
In a near replay of the Senkaku incident, in the region of 50 Chinese fishing vessels were illegally fishing in the waters off the South Korean city of Gunsan, inside Korea’s EEZ.
The Korean coastguard went to remove them, but one of the Chinese ships ignored their orders to halt and instead rammed them in an effort to let the rest of the fleet escape. The fishing vessel capsized as a result of the impact, throwing its crew of 9 into the sea where 1 drowned and another 2 went missing.
The Chinese crew of the ship were filmed attacking the coastguard who closed with them using metal bars and shovels, hospitalising 4 coastguard personnel with serious injuries including broken bones. A number of fishermen were arrested soon after.
Footage of the incident:
The South Korean media immediately reported on the incident, and authorities quickly released film of the clash – the polar opposite to Japan’s supine response to the rather more territorially charged incident in the Senkaku islands.
the video says “衝突” that is comflict between fisherman and coast gurad,,,while you translate it by “fisherman attack coast guard”…only suckers fisherman in sankaku will attack military force with fishing tools…
Problem with this s♥♥t is the way they handled it;
They could of been like, “Let’s hold a fish BBQ and share some of our catch of the day before both sides return to port.”
But got to bring on the Growls & Violence.
When was it wrong to find food, and feed your families…? Never forget both sides are working for a cause of self-survival.
But you should never stop a man, from trying to get Food from the good old Ocean if they have their own tools.
“Teach a man to fish, don’t just hand it too him freely and have a lazy attachment not of your family expecting free handouts.”
Whats with the hating of all the Chinese people, its really not their fault. Blame everything on their government and tyrants.
ahaha the governments itself are made of Chinese people no? so in all base of arguments you are also urging us to blame the Chinese too…the thing is stop with pointing faults at others!Chinese people in China need to stand up for themselves! I mean we are talking about the country with second(right?) largest population on Earth, I am pretty sure not all of those Chinese are government…if they stay quiet, that mean they support the government, no?
Yes because I’m sure EVERY US citizen was supporting Bush and his little war game and the bullshit that’s happening with Wikileaks. You might want to equip a +1 INT Hat of Common Sense. Ever read Shitsurakuen? People aren’t exactly in a position where going against the ones in power because they want to. Where have you been for the last 30 years? Pretty much most if not all people who has gone against the government are targeted and are taken care of.
Also protip: Does 99% of any population acutally care about what the government does if it doesn’t impact their own life, as long as they earn a living? Looks over to Japan. Most Japanese people are not Otaku’s, and don’t give a rat’s ass about the issue of the ordinance bill. Think a little bit.
china needs to stop there aggression or they will be big problems for them.. its bad enough they torture animals!
It seems like China wants to go out of it’s way to bully the rest of the Asian countries. Either that or they really wanted to get a lot of fish instead.
