We will never be able to read about these type of news in any US or Western reports.
But if a single Chinese fishing boat is involved, big headline news splashing on Western News Media.

It is due to EEZ dispute between Indonesia and Vietnam, but we are going to solve it soon inshaAllah.

Lol.. Don't bring too much hope on it. Vietnam are very aggressive in their sea claim and the reason why they cannot do anything against China becos we got more fleet and far bigger coast guard like 12000tons monster cutter.

Best way is to share the EEZ or jointly exploit it . Only other option is to keep arguing over who owns the disputed waters, short of going to war. I see no other solution. So this has nothing to do with Allah but everything to do with human being and their greed.

Yes I believe too there is a big difference between Viet and chinese fishermen. Viet fishermen are poor, desperate, ride on rusty boats, while chinese fishermen are rich, ride on 12,000 ton boat. They hold in one hand a Huawei phone, they play with another hand with something else.
