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:

Ties would continue to deteriorate. And China rejects a request of a meeting with Xi.

Only western billionaires like Paul Allen are allowed to salvage sunken war ships, you know

Scroll to bottom for list of sea bed scrap metal this guy has stolen:

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.

why are you so bothered by this? .

The New York Times reported that 67 foreign civilian ships were attacked by local pirates between September 1949 and October 1954, as half of them were British vessels, whereas actually 141 interference incidents were reported by the Royal Navy in the routine "Formosa Strait Patrol" operations since October 31 1949 and recorded in 37 British diplomatic protestation documents, with each containing multiple protests up to seven attacks

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.

Spying is normal and a practice that's been done through the ages. But, what I can't stand with the Americans and the West in general is that for them spying on countries is a right and even a duty to protect their interests and people. Yet, the same principle can't be attributed to their adversaries and rivals like China. Is this the "rules based order" they are trotting out endlessly? What a joke.

When the US conducts intelligence gathering operations, it's for protecting democracy and liberty of the free world, safeguarding peace and stability for humanity. In addition, the US has robust regulatory framworks and supervision to ensure all operations are conducted in a fair and just manner, adhering to all applicable local and international laws and rules.

When totalitarian countries like China and Russia spy, they violate the sovereignty of other countries, disregard the international rules and laws, undermining liberty of citizens in the free world, and causing instability around the world. A truly abhorrent act that cannot be tolerated.
