| 2011-12-14 |
| The Chinese government on Tuesday officially expressed regret over the killing of a Korean coast guard by the skipper of a Chinese trawler that was fishing illegally in Korean waters. "It was an unfortunate incident," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin told reporters. "China regrets that the incident caused the death of a South Korean coast guard officer." "Currently the relevant authorities in China and Korea are in close communication on investigating this situation. China is ready to work closely with South Korea to properly settle the issue," he added. Korean Ambassador to Beijing Lee Kyu-hyung said, "The Chinese Foreign Ministry and Agriculture Ministry expressed regret and condolences over the death through diplomatic channels." The officer was killed and another wounded on Monday when they were stabbed with a piece of broken glass by the skipper while trying to board his trawler. |

| #2 ION DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > CHINA JOINS RUSSIA, ORDERS MILITARY TO PREPARE FOR WORLD WAR III, as it is becom increasingly clear that the only way to stop GWOT-led US global hegemony = imperialism is via DEDICATED, ANTI-US DIRECT ACTION + [devastating] IMMEDIATE MIL COUNTERRESPONSE. Top Govt Leaders now, e.g. HU JINTAO?, no longer just military command officers. D *** NG IT, IT LOOKS LIKE THE PLANNED MOTHERLY NORTH KOREAN INVASION OF CONUS-NORAM ALA "RED DAWN II" IS BACK ON THE TABLE! |
