In another case of a Oceanic hit-and-run in recent weeks, a fishing boat which collided with a ship in the Yangtze River estuary off Shanghai has left one person dead and eight others missing. The boat contained 11 people in total when it rammed against a ship at 3:40am this morning. Three of the passengers were rescued, but a fourth died of serious injuries. The search for the missing is still ongoing. Meanwhile, the vessel that hit the fishing ship has run off and is being pursued by maritime authorities. In late April, a ship modeled after an ancient Chinese junk met an untimely end on its trip across the Pacific after a tanker smashed into it and ran off. Source: Xinhua

Another day, another clash at sea between the U.S. Navy and Chinese fishing boats. This time around, the USNS Victorious was harassed by two Chinese vessels who maneuvered “dangerous[ly]” around it in the Yellow Sea.

We're not sure why, but Chinese vessels seem to be on an angry, aggressive streak as of late - surrounding and tangling with United States vessels in international waters for seemingly no good reason. The most recent incident being with the U.S.'s USNS Impeccable.
