(RTTNews) - Russian Coast Guards in the country's Far East opened fire on a suspected Chinese fishing vessel to stop it from poaching in the Sea of Japan, a spokesman for the Border Guards Service said on Tuesday.

He said the vessel, flying the flag of China, refused to stop on demand from Coast Guards and tried to escape.

"After a three-hour pursuit, the Dzerzhinsky Coast Guard vessel fired warning shots, but the poaching vessel continued its dangerous maneuvers," he said adding that after the warning shots the Coast Guards opened a targeted fire on the vessel.

The vessel carried over 22.5 tons of squid and had a crew 17 Chinese nationals, who failed to produce any document allowing them fishing. None of them were killed or wounded in the shooting, Russia's RIA Novosti news agency reported.

The Russian Coast Guard service is actively involved in fighting illegal fishing in the country's territorial waters and frequently detains foreign-flagged poaching vessels.

This is Russia, when you enter into their water, no matter who you are, they gonna fire at you.

You should blame the Qing Dynasty for losing our Outer Manchuria to Russia.

Just be patient.

When we have a reliable and working anti-ballistic missile system, the Russians will be hearing from us about the Qing Dynasty map.

We need time to develop a reliable multi-layered missile defense shield, laser weapons, hypersonic weapons, large quantities of first strike stealth weapons, etc.

Time is on our side. We'll leave the Russians for last.

It'll be the mother of all blitzkriegs.

They like to fire at us. We'll take them all down in one go. NATO from the West and China from the East. Carve Russia into two halves like they did to Poland.

lol trailer trash.

i left you a present in the China top ten videos.

Thats why Putina says China is a strategic ally while taking your money but chooses to cooperate on defense projects with Europe, right?

oh and it's only a matter of time before Russia/NATO agree on joint missile defence.

I disagree. It's prudent military strategy.

When the next generation of advanced weapons are available, you negotiate from a position of strength. How do you think Russia became a large country? They've been doing it to everyone else. Someday, it will be their turn to be on the receiving end.

It's only a question of sufficiently superior technology, reliability, and comprehensive development (e.g. massive quantity). For example, when China has a $50 trillion GDP and very advanced weapons, it is reasonable to retake the Qing Dynasty territories and more.

However, that is in the future and Chinese simply have to be patient. Our power is growing and we have scores to settle.

Dreamers out here!!

10000 BC chinese map shows entire Russia as China.

Poor Russians, will have to face the dreaded chinese warning ministry and megaton threats.

 

[acetophenol]

Such incidents are increasingly becoming common. Hope the govts act maturly.

I'm a visionary strategist. China had colluded with the United States to destroy the Soviet Union.

What's wrong with colluding with the Americans again to carve Russia into two? It's poetic justice. The Russians carved Poland into two. Why can't someone else use their strategy against them? It's only fair.

China and the U.S. only have to solve the question of neutralizing or minimizing the Russian nuclear threat. Once that problem is dealt with, carving Russia becomes a matter of where to draw the two halves.

The difference between the Chinese and the Indians is that the Chinese will actually have this power soon, while the Indians will still be dreaming of it.

It is prudent military strategy, its only problem is a lot of assumptions by you. Like the 50 trillion economy. That made me chuckle.

Also Russkies are getting closer to the West (im guessing with pretty good reasons) so a combined China/NATO push is quite non viable atm.

lol, how exactly? hahahaha, o man, youre killing me.

$50 trillion is achievable. China's GDP will be $8 trillion this year. After one double, it's $16 trillion. After another double, it's $32 trillion. On the third double it's $64 trillion.

Using the rule of 72 for compounded gain, assuming a growth rate of 7% per year and 3% currency appreciation, China's GDP will double in 7.2 years. It would have quadrupled in 14.4 years.

China should have a $32 trillion GDP by 2027. $50 trillion is within reach.

For this year, China will consume about five times more electricity (5,000 TeraWatt-hours) than Russia (1,000 TeraWatt-hours). At some point, Russia starts looking like a midget.

----------

Nixon's detente with China was aimed at the Soviet Union. The U.S. supplied Stingers and China supplied Kalashnikovs during the Soviet-Afghan War of 1979-1989. The Saudis supplied the cash. By 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed.
