Woderful. The Chinese boat clearly rams intentionally the first time. I feel really sorry the Chinese don't like the video proving who the aggressor is here.

Yikes, talk about an obvious provocation

my Chinese buddies says that since the island belongs to mainland china, the Chinese boat was simply "defending the mother land"
If we ignore sovereignty over the island, the whole thing was simply a traffic accident

haha, "accident". I think the video rather suggests the opposite.

Fishing boats also don't really have authority to "defend the motherland" anywhere. Even given the extremely disputed nature of the territory involved, the moment they started ramming they ceased to function as a fishing boat and became, for all purposes, a belligerent vessel posing as one. And that is a major provocation.

well I don't have a better term for it
But its simply a "boat crash"
the only reason that this case gets so much attention is the location of the incident

if some random guy rammed the US coast guard off California, it wouldn't get nearly as much publicity

Chinese fisherman like to play at being a military force a lot...
