Taiwan, just relax...

Not according to the constitution.

Reunification in process.. 

No, but they will try

Typical, brazen lawlessness from the totalitarian dystopia. Economic decoupling, increased defenses, and coordination/alliances among free world countries is the only way to deal with them.

Reunification in process..

As stated many times, there is no such thing as "reunification," as the CCP has never controlled Taiwan. It is a CCP propaganda term.

What you are referring to is "illegal annexation."

China’s always seizing someone or something.

Very aggressive & selfish.

Mother China is going to be in bad shape if she raises a finger to Grandfather Taiwan.

The headline said

Taiwan says China seizes fishing boat near Chinese coast

.

I thought the fishing boat had strayed in to china waters till i read the following.

.

The fishing boat was operating near the Taiwan-administered Kinmen islands

.

So they were in Taiwan waters and not china as the title susgested.

.

Wish they check the titles for misleading wording

.

Hope they get released soon.

But with china, it could be a long stay.

Important to observe the important fact that Taiwan completely lacks UN recognition as an independent country.

Mainland China's claim in general and conduct in particular hold water when analysed with this crucial detail in mind. Their position is completely consistent and with merit.

This is how wars will start, deliberately and calculated. Everyone should be on guard between now and the US presidential election. It’s a small window of dysfunction and inner-turmoil that could lead to opportunistic behavior from a number of bad actors, China being but one.

Important to observe the important fact that Taiwan completely lacks UN recognition as an independent country.

Important to recognize that this is just an artificially engineered situation by the bully state. You don't get to create your own evidence.

Mainland China's claim in general and conduct in particular hold water when analysed with this crucial detail in mind. Their position is completely consistent and with merit.

But Taiwan's claim for independence is equal legally and morally superior.

China has a philosophy when it comes to making its claims.

If you can’t overwhelm them with facts, dazzle them with BS.

In Chinese waters, play stupid games ...

The Taiwanese boat was operating during China's no-fishing period, the coast guard said, adding Taiwan will communicate with China and urge them to release the fishermen as soon as possible.

Chinese maritime enforcement and coast guard ships have been regularly operating around Kinmen since February after two Chinese fishermen died trying to flee Taiwan's coast guard

Wonder how they died

Just more ugliness by an ugly bully.

Anyway, those fishermen probably crossed Taiwan's 11 dash line

Time for the Taiwanese Coast Guard to start taking hostages and equipment too. Sorta like Russia does when they want to get convicted drug and arms dealers out of jail in other countries.

Yeah they should have captured alive those two dead Chinese fishermen

China regularly uses "fishermen" to do its dirty tactics. I'll believe something improper was done when there is video of it when it comes out of China.

lol You do understand that Kinmen gets fresh water, electricity and the internet from the nearby Chinese city of Xiamen, right?

Time for the Taiwanese Coast Guard to start taking hostages and equipment too

Still China's warmongering in the SCS.
