Looks like always some problem between China and its neighbors
South Korean coastguards in clash with Chinese boats
Saturday 18th December, 2010
One person has been killed after a clash between South Korean coastguards and Chinese fishing boats.
According to South Korea, the boats had been fishing illegally off their coast.
Up to 50 boats are thought to have been caught by the Coastguard, with many escaping.
A ramming incident was reported, in which a Chinese fishing boat supposedly rammed the Coastguard vessel.
South Korean officers were forced into arm to arm fighting with fishermen who wielded metal bars.
Eight men were plucked from the sea by the Coastguard but one of them later died.
Last month a Chinese fishing vessel rammed a Japanese coast gaurd vessel, creating some tension between the two countries.
