China condemns Russia for detaining fishermen

[kawaraj]

BEIJING (Reuters) - China called an urgent meeting with Russia in Beijing on Thursday, condemning its coastguard days after it fired on Chinese fishing boats and detained dozens of fishermen who had entered its exclusive economic zone.
A Russian coastguard vessel on Tuesday fired warning shots at Chinese fishing vessels, then opened targeted fire to stop one trawler that had been fishing for squid in Russia's far eastern Primorsky region.
It later detained 36 fishermen and two fishing vessels.
"China is strongly dissatisfied with Russia's rough law enforcement and use of military force to seize Chinese fishing boats," Vice Foreign Minister Cheng Guoping told the acting head of Russia's mission in Beijing, according to a statement on the Chinese Foreign Ministry's website.
Cheng demanded that Russia investigate the incident, which left one fisherman missing, the statement said. Earlier Russian news reports said no one was killed or wounded during the incident.
It was not the first time Russia's coastguards have fired on Chinese trawlers and detained them for poaching fish in Russian waters, but such confrontations are rare.
Russia has watched cautiously as Beijing has emerged as a regional power, engaging it as a trading and diplomatic partner but wary of it as a potential rival for control of resources in Russia's thinly populated eastern stretches.
Russia has increased its economic and military investment in its Far East and strengthened its political presence there, creating a ministry to oversee the region in order to counter China's influence.
China has had recent run-ins with neighboring countries over its fishing vessels. In April, two Chinese maritime surveillance ships prevented the Philippine Navy from arresting eight Chinese fishing boats near Scarborough Shoal in disputed waters in the South China Sea.

we never consider russia as our ally.
but russia has done nothing wrong this time.
1.it is not disputed water
2. the fishing boat does not have any license
3.russia did not fire on boat. It was warning shot.
...
the problem is: the chinese fishermen claim that one fisherman is missing. but the russia reported no one is missing.
we dont know if someone is really missing.

China should someday revoke the Unfair Treaties it signed with Russia when it took away China's Outer Manchuria.

When China becomes stronger than Russia and the U.S., it is fairly possible to get it back to China.

Russia is a skinnier dude who holds a big gun, even both US and China are stronger, we won't mess with her.

even china someday becomme much more stronger than Russia. we will not get outer manchuria back.
the russia still have enough nukes even they are getting weaker.
and we dont want to die with Russia. what we want is profit.

 

[zimmick]

China, how is it like tasting your own medecine? You've been bullying other fishermen of the countries of Phillipines, Vietnam, Malaysia etc.., in the Paracels and Spratley Islands and you're proud of it? Now you pick your fight with the Russia, lotsa luck to you

We have much more to lose than them, so we won't let them to drag us down, same for US.

However, i don't like the divide & conquer tactic of the western media, and US is still the primary enemy for both nation, and we should remind Russia that they should treat the strategic alliance with more respect.

Everyone uses megaton or sub-megaton nowadays, bomba has been retired long time ago, while your atomic firecracker is too weak, that's why we don't even take you seriously.
