Taiwan can respond to assassination of unarmed fisherman by the Philippines

[shuttler]

A thief is never an innocent.

Balintang Channel clearly is PH territorial Waters.

Taiwan just doesn't want to admit it to avoid admitting its blunder.

why should Taiwan be admitting to something baloney from the pinoy murderers

You moron


EVEN THEIR OWN IMAGE TELLS THEY ARE IN OUR TERRITORY.

Their image shows that their ship was about the enter the Balintang channel -- between Batanes and Babuyan. They just blur Batanes to create the impression that they are not intruding

The defenseless 65-year-old Taiwanese fisherman was north of the Taiwan-Philippine midpoint line when he was brutally murdered by Philippine government terrorists.

Three points.

1. My map comes from a Filipino publication and the original source is Google Maps. Google Maps is reliable.

2. Your first map shows a giant cartoon ship. It covers roughly 50 miles on the map. It is useless as a point of reference.

3. Your second map is distorted. Your two island specks are much further south than Google Maps.

In conclusion, your proffered maps are distorted and useless. My citation of a Filipino news publication that relies on Google Maps is the most reliable source.

Taiwan prepares sanctions on Philippines for murdering elderly Taiwanese fisherman

Taiwan mulling sanctions against Philippines over shooting: Ma | Latest | FOCUS TAIWAN - CNA ENGLISH NEWS

"Taiwan mulling sanctions against Philippines over shooting: Ma

Taipei, May 11 (CNA) Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou on Saturday said his government will consider imposing sanctions against the Philippines if it does not apologize for opening fire on an unarmed fishing boat, which resulted in the death of a Taiwanese fisherman.

He also asked the Philippines to give the assurance that there will be no repeat of such incidents.

The Philippines must apologize, apprehend the killer and offer compensation for the fishermen's death, Ma said at Taichung Harbor, where he was observing a marine security exercise.

The president said he was shocked when he learned that a Taiwanese fisherman had been fatally shot Thursday when the Philippine Coast Guard opened fire on a boat that was fishing in waters north of the Philippine archipelago where the economic zones of the Philippines and Taiwan overlap.

Excessive use of force by law enforcement officers is not allowed in any country, Ma said, adding that the act of opening fire on an unarmed fishing boat was inhuman, brutal and cold-blooded.

While the Philippine government has expressed sympathy to the family of the deceased Taiwanese fisherman, it has not apologized for the shooting, an attitude that has given rise to public indignation in Taiwan, Ma said.

It is absolutely unacceptable for the Philippines to kill someone illegally and then refuse to apologize, the president said.

Meanwhile, Vice President Wu Den-yih said that the Taiwan public should support any move by the government to take a hard line against the Philippines to force an apology, apprehension of the killer and compensation for the fishermen's death.

The people of Taiwan should absolutely not tolerate any repeat incidents, he added."

You don't know how to read maps. Why don't you google Babuyan Islands. If you want to measure the midpoint between the Philippines and Taiwan...you should draw the midpoint between Babuyan Islands and Taiwan. The incident cleary shows that it happened between Babuyan Islands and Batanes Islands...well inside Philippine territory.

Reputable and impartial Google Maps disagrees with you. It is obvious to everyone.

Anyone with eyes can see the Taiwanese fishing boat was north of the Taiwan-Philippines midpoint line and the elderly Taiwanese fisherman did not deserve to be executed by a bunch of Philippine government terrorist thugs.

Everybody who knows how to use google maps would know you are LYING. Mavudis island(Yami Island) is our northernmost territory...it's much closer to Taiwan than our main island of Luzon. It's only more than 100KM away from Orchid Island.

Even if the Taiwanese boat was in Philippine waters illegally there can be no justification for opening fire.

The correct thing to have done would have been to arrest the fishermen and try them under the proper legal process.

No wonders us Asians have ended up in this state the way we behave at times.

Dark blue: Philippines territorial water + EEZ
Green: Disputed EEZ

Certainly the Taiwanese boat has intrude Philippines undisputed EEZ;

Shooting illegal vessels inside one EEZ is not something uncommon, especially if the intrusion is on non-disputed area.
Just last one to two years ago several Chinese neighbors also shoot Chinese crewmen. The respond was relatively "mild" than this~

Taiwan should blockade Northern Philippino ports until Philippines hand over the murderers. Sanctions are not enough
