Two Chinese fishermen have drowned while being chased by Taiwan's Coast Guard off the coast of Taiwan's Kinmen archipelago, the coast guard said Wednesday while accusing them of trespassing. The deaths are unusual despite the level of Chinese activity in the waters near Kinmen, which is closer to China than it is to Taiwan’s main island. China claims all of Taiwan as part of its territory.
Taiwan claiming an island 3km away from China and hundreds of kilometers from the Taiwanese mainland? Perfectly legitimate.
I mean the laws of international boundaries are kind of made up, so things tend to get complicated.
For example if “claiming an island 3km away from China and hundreds of kilometers from the Taiwanese mainland?” Is illegitimate, then how do you think that applies to China’s claim over the 9 dash line?
“Hundreds of kilometers” is a bit of a stretch when it’s less than 200km
Lol, I wasn’t the one claiming that… Which is why it’s in quotations.
