Two Chinese fishermen have drowned while being chased by Taiwan's Coast Guard off the coast of Taiwan's Kinmen archipelago, the coast guard said Wednesday while accusing them of trespassing. The deaths are unusual despite the level of Chinese activity in the waters near Kinmen, which is closer to China than it is to Taiwan’s main island. China claims all of Taiwan as part of its territory.
Isn’t this the same shit everyone was flipping out about when China did it to Filipino fishermen who were “trespassing”? At least in that case nobody died. RIP.
No… Because China is claiming an island that is nowhere near their internationally recognized borders
Everyone, including the Republic of China, believes that Taiwan is China.
and on an island they don’t even have people on…
Most of Taiwan’s population are Han. You shouldn’t form opinions on things you don’t know any history or context of.
Taiwans EEZ
The boat was 3 km off mainland China’s coast and a hundred miles away from Taiwan. RoC claims the entire coast (and territory of) mainland China, nobody takes their claims seriously.

In this case, Chinese fisherman were within Taiwans EEZ. And their boat capsized as they tried to flee.
