Guest ShaQuaNew Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Chinese Officials Protest Sinking of Ship by RussiansAnything that drives a wedge between China and Russia can only be good for us. China and Russia are strong allies, and also share a common border. What's important to note here is: On Thursday, the Russian Foreign Ministry said the captain of the Chinese ship was to blame for the sinking, according to the state-run RIA Novosti news agency. The agency reported that the ship had earlier been chased by two Russian Coast Guard vessels, but refused to stop despite being fired upon. ¡°We regret the tragic consequences of this incident,¡± said Andrei Nesterenko, a Foreign Ministry spokesman, according to the news agency. ¡°However, we consider the captain of the New Star, who behaved extremely irresponsibly, is fully to blame for the incident.¡± This event will have little effect on the China / Russian alliance, and the friendship between these two countries is good for the world.

lostinblue Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 "The warship fired 500 rounds at the vessel, sinking it in stormy Russian waters near the eastern port city of Vladivostok." The russian navy trying to sink a cargo ship....... 500 rounds..... Sounds like they need to have another look at their weapons system. Link to comment
