Personally don't hold the people or government of the PRC responsible for the actions of these pirates. But you can bet that plenty of people on Twitter do. PRC should arrest and punish these scrappers:

I wonder how those who find the PoW salvage story so funny would feel the same if people were digging up the graves of Chinese soldiers killed in WW2 to sell relics for profit? Remember, the sailors on HMS Repulse and PoW were fighting China's enemy too.

It doesn't say anything about Paul Allen dredging up wrecks for scrap, he was just exploring them and bringing up the occasional relic as a memorial (eg HMS Hood's bell) with approval of the relevant navy.

"Those who find the PoW salvage story so funny"? Bruh, it's just me who put the laugh emoji on it. Call me out direct, I don't mind. As for fighting China's enemy, they were fighting their enemy to preserve their empire. Don't try to spin it as doing something for China's benefit.

Nope, Unfair and Biased did it as well.

They were fighting a common foe, does it matter why? But anyway, you're OK with digging up Chinese war graves for profit, which doesn't surprise me.
