Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council: Taiwan must give a clear explanation to the families of the victims and compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Zhu Fenglian said that three feet of ice does not freeze in one day, and this fishing boat capsizing incident is by no means an isolated case.
We strongly condemn Taiwan's brutal treatment of mainland fishermen, Taiwan's atrocious practice of "violent law enforcement" that disregards lives and deliberately conceals the truth, and expresses strong indignation at Taiwan's inhumane and indifferent words and deeds afterwards.
