Isn't this the same shit everyone was flipping out about when China did it to Filipino fishermen who were "trespassing"? At least in that case nobody died. RIP.
No... Because China is claiming an island that is nowhere near their internationally recognized borders and on an island they don't even have people on...
In this case, Chinese fisherman were within Taiwans EEZ. And their boat capsized as they tried to flee.
Taiwan is not a country so they have no EEZ, they are a province of China, both Taiwan (Republic of China) and the Peoples Republic of China agree on this, the only point in "contention" is what government is the ligitimate government of China, the answer is the government of the Peoples Republic of China.
