Tensions flare as China detains Taiwanese boat

There are fresh tensions between Beijing and Taipei.

Taiwan is demanding an explanation after China detained a Taiwanese fishing boat just off the Chinese coast.

Taiwanese authorities could not stop the boat and its crew from being escorted to a Chinese port.

It is only the third time in eight years a Taiwanese ship has been boarded – twice in the last six months.

And with a weak American all hell is breaking loose.

This is exactly what President Trump meant by countries pulling their own weight and to not solely rely on Allied Nations.

China doing pirate acts, now doing terrorist ransom practices, they also done that to Philippines too, they surround one boat then lock it and drag the boat (sandwich and hooking the boat by force), but cancelled, but not for Taiwan.

chinas yearly no fishing period, because the fishing fleet is in other peoples waters.

Every nation that surrounds china should team up and surround them. Teach the bullies a lesson

China will one day release an ancient scroll saying they have dash lines on the moon and other planets.

I live in hk and at night the seas to the east are light up like dawn, all night long with squid fishing boats. 'no fishing period' my ass.

China needs to release those people and show some respect to Taiwanese people. They are not slaves for the CCP.

Let’s see how this is going to be different from what China Coast Guard did to the Philippine Coast Guard’s resupply mission to its naval outpost in the South China Sea.

If what Ching said is true: "The few can beat the many" why did the few run off to an island?

And Australia can't even defend itself

I don't think foreigners need to interfere.

No way kinmen is that close to china and is part of Taiwan💀

[MIXIU-hu]

Chinese law has long stipulated that no one, including its own people, can work in parts of the sea during fishing bans. And Taiwan always wants to provoke this behavior, even if many people don't know: Taiwan recently detained Chinese fishermen, resulting in the death of three people. The real news is not reported because many people are led by the nose to see what they want to see. How come there is no comment section when 3 Chinese fishermen died these pretense righteous people say something?It's ironic😅

That area is just too narrow. People from China and Taiwan can easily trespass each other waters.

[raykay]

Acting like animals to everyone around them. Typical.

[BeachBoi]

What’s the issue? Who is wrong? I hope there is a clearer picture.

[easternrazor]

Why is it tension? It is just a normal daily enforcement by the Chinese Coast Guard....
If fishermen break the laws, they have to be responsible just like everyone else.
Sky is just hyperventilating.

The U.S. has frozen the flow of U.S. dollars to Hong Kong and China. This decision has led to a significant economic loss and erosion of political freedoms, causing many skilled workers and graduates to leave Hong Kong. The erosion of capitalism and the influence of communism, which does not operate within a free market, have contributed to this situation. The U.S. freeze on dollars to Hong Kong and China is deliberate, not accidental. With the passage of Hong Kong's national security law and the involvement of foreign forces, it is clear that China and Hong Kong do not control U.S. dollars; only the United States does. Undoing these measures is not feasible for China.
