The China News Service (CNS) said that the Chinese fishermen were teaching local fishermen how to use the fishing tools on the trawlers. It also said the two boats might have been held for having conflicts with other fishermen while fishing and had nothing to do with the Chinese fishermen.
The embassy had also contacted the Sri Lankan shipping company, asking it to help coordinate for an early release of the Chinese fishermen.
It's very odd. If the Chinese fishermen were teaching local Sri Lankan fishermen how to use the fishing tools on the trawlers, why is that there's only 2 Sri Lankan fishermen against 37 Chinese fishermen??? Why would they only teach 2 Sri Lankan fishermen how to operate the trawlers???
Do those 37 Chinese fishermen have work permits and passports???
Did the Sri Lankan authorities investigated the Sri Lankan shipping company of being a Chinese dummy company???
As usual you have problems of following the sequence of events that happen right in front of your eyes. My advice to you is read every post CAREFULLY before you make such an ignorant statement. Do you know what's going on here?
Sri Lanka Navy intercepted two trawlers with 37 Chinese fishermen onboard who were poaching in Sri Lankan waters last night.
Two Sri Lankans were also apprehended along with the Chinese nationals, Navy spokesman Commander Kosala Warnakulasuriya said.
Chinese fishermen can only engage in poaching 200 nautical miles off Sri Lanka’s coast however the arrested fishermen were poaching just 10-15 nautical miles east from Batticaloa.
The arrested Chinese fishermen will be handed over to Trincomalee harbor police, the spokesman said.

If you have read my post #20 you would've known new events refuted the OP's article as a misunderstand and if you still make comments based on the original article, that means you're not doing your homework and skip many posts in between.
Sorry Monk, I dont believe at Globaltime.cn
The release of these violated fishermen may be because Sri Lankan government wants to keep friendship relations between the two countries.
I also see it very weird, how to 37 Chinese fishermen "were teaching" only 2 Sri Lankan "how to use the fishing tools on the trawlers"?
37 teachers with only 2 learners? This class is very high quality!
