Taiwan spoke out about firing at Japanese boats if Japan didn’t allow Taiwan fishermen to freely fish in the waters, my thoughts are like…….
Taiwan may be trying to stoke the fire. They wont actually want a fight, they’ll just start one between two bigger dogs and let them go at it, meanwhile seeking their own agenda. Taiwan maybe throws a few pot shots, leaves, China finds a legitimate reason to “back up” Taiwan, shit starts between China and Japan, Taiwan pushes hard for their own agenda – like, say, independence. ”If Taiwan fishermen want to go on the island, a special forces team will also first board the fishing vessel and protect the fishermen, stopping any Japanese ships, absolutely not allowing the Japanese side to arrest Taiwan fishermen. He indicated that if the Japanese side were to arrest any fishermen, the Taiwanese side would not rule out opening fire.
By the way, in the water fight videos/pictures, is it just me or did the Taiwan “water cannon” not really make it all the way to the Japanese boats – and in some cases, not fire in the right direction?
