China ‘shocked’ by shooting
Print Edition
CHINA has voiced strong discontent over “heavy handedness” by the South Korean coast guard which had caused the death of a Chinese fisherman.
“China is shocked by the violent law-enforcement of the South Korea side,” foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei said at a routine press conference.
Hong said China was demanding that South Korea begin an immediate and thorough investigation into the incident, appropriately punish those responsible for the fisherman’s death, and inform China promptly of the progress and outcome of the investigation.
Song Houmu, 45, captain of the 80-ton fishing vessel Noyoung 50987, was shot by a South Korean coast guard officer on board his own ship in waters some 144 kilometers west of Wangdeung Island, North Jeolla Province.
Hong said Chinese officials in South Korea immediately lodged a protest.
