"Heavily armed" is overstating the case, I don't see anything resembling 76mm cannons or even 30mm Gatling guns.
It all depends on the relative comparison of the vessels involved I suppose.

If a vessel with a couple of twin 20mm cannons tells you to give it up, and you are armed with a couple of assault rifles...then the 20mm cannons are "heavily armed" from your perspective.

Whatever the case was, the Indonesian Coast Guard felt compelled to give up the Chinese fishing vessel.

The 1st PRC coast guard picture posted by US NavalToday.com is NOT accurate and intentionally misleading ( Divide and Conquer tactics to create a unnecessary wedge between Indonesia and PRC ).

The incident happen on from ( 19 MAR 2016 @ around 23:00 ) to ( 20 MAR 2016 @ around 01:45 )
There was NO sunlight.

It is very likely the location of the incident is outside Indonesian EEZ.

In order to thwart the western insidious and malicious Divide and Conquer tactics ... ...

1) If the concerned PRC officials and diplomats are smart and wise and not being idiotic and corrupt, then they shall immediately issue a Absolutely Clear statement and regulation prohibiting PRC companies and fishermen from fishing
anywhere near the boundary of the EEZ of ( Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam, Thailand, Burma, and South Korea ) by creating a 10 km outside buffer zone immediately after the EEZ boundary.

2) Any PRC companies and fishermen violating and fishing inside this 10 km buffer zone will get their ship confiscated.

The confiscated ship will be sold at auction and PRC shall use the proceed as a donation to enrich all PRC Anti Corruption officials.

What 1st PRC coast guard picture posted by US NavalToday? If I click the link to the US NavalToday regarding the story, the only related picture is what looks to be a fishing vessel.

It even has the caption for illustration only. What is so intentionally misleading as you alluded?

The second link is to a fortune article which appears to be reporting the same incident. In that it has the following picture.

There is no caption describing the picture. I can't make out which nation the vessel belongs to. If you can, tell me how.

According to the reports, there is now a dispute whether the incident happened outside or inside Indonesia's territorial jurisdiction. Your comments suggest otherwise. Do you have a reference source to back up your assertion or are you being political?

This statement itself is highly political. Do you actually have any evidence that you wish to point out from the contents of the articles as both insidious and malicious according to a standard that you are demonstrating with your comments.
1) If the concerned PRC officials and diplomats are smart and wise and not being idiotic and corrupt,
Do you have any evidence to be making such derogatory remarks from the outset?

So why did Chinese coast guard ship freed the Chinese fishing vessel from the Indonesian?

Because Indonesia is known to destroy foreign fishing vessels that it seizes, over a hundred of them over the last two years in fact. China has expressed concerns about the practice.

In South China Sea, this kinds of incidents happen quite regularly. You have had Philippine shot Taiwanese fisherman, China arrest Vietnamese fishermen, and Indonesia took control of foreign vessels, not just Chinese ones. Just because the media is now focusing on "aggressive Chinese behaviors" doesn't mean it's something new or solely Chinese. It's a crowded region and is bound to have such incidents.

In other news today, Taiwanese boats shot at in Strait of Malacca by official Indonesian vessels.

The Indonesian authority has been rather aggressive in dealing with foreign vessels. I guess China is not the only country that has been "assertive" in such activities, nor China is the only target of Indonesia's "assertiveness." Just another day in SCS.

Taiwanese boats shot at in Strait of Malacca
‘SABOTAGED’:In a separate incident, Indonesia said eight Chinese fishermen who were caught in its waters would be processed in accordance with Indonesian law
Staff writer, with CNA

Two Taiwanese fishing boats reported that they were fired upon by what they believed to be an official Indonesian vessel while in the Strait of Malacca early yesterday.

The owner of the Sheng Te Tsai, registered in Pingtung County’s Liouciou Township (琉球), surnamed Lee, said he received a satellite telephone call from the skipper, Lin Nan-yang, shortly after 5am to say that his ship and the Lien I Hsing No. 116 were being shot at.

In one of the messages sent from the ships, crew members said they believed the vessel belonged to the Indonesian military, because they saw “2804” on the vessel, which is used for official vessels of the Southeast Asian nation.

The two Taiwanese ships, which were heading to Singapore to offload their catches and stock up on supplies, reported their location at 6 degrees 15 minutes north latitude and 97 degrees 40 minutes east longitude respectively when the shooting took place.

Lin said the 20 crew members of both ships were unharmed, but added that the Sheng Te Tsai had more than 10 bullet holes.

Lin told Lee that the shots were mainly aimed at the cockpits of the two ships, which Lee said was unusual given that warning shots tend to target the back of a vessel or the water around it.

The two fishing boats left Pingtung in late November last year and have been working in the Indian Ocean — they are expected to dock in Singapore later this week.

Liouciou Fishermen’s Association chief executive Tsai Pao-hsing (蔡寶興) said that the route the two vessels took along the center line of the Strait of Malacca is usually safe, although pirate attacks have been reported by fishermen.

Ismail Mae (買睿明), director of the Press Information Division at the Taipei Economic and Trade Office in Indonesia, said in Jakarta that the office would contact the Indonesian government to clarify whether the attack was launched by an official vessel after it gathers more information.

Yunus Ismail, deputy head of the press office at Indonesian Navy Headquarters, said there had been no report by the Indonesian coast guard or navy vessels of chasing Taiwanese fishing boats.

He said the headquarters would check with the naval base on Batam Island to see if any official Indonesian vessels were involved in the shooting.

Fisheries Agency Deputy Director-General Huang Hung-yan (黃鴻燕) said in Taipei that Taiwan does not rule out negotiating a fisheries agreement with Indonesia, similar to those signed with Japan and the Philippines, to better protect Taiwanese fishermen.

Meanwhile, Indonesia said that it “feels sabotaged” in its efforts to maintain peace in the disputed South China Sea.

An incident over the weekend involved an Indonesian patrol boat and a Chinese coast guard vessel and fishing boat, in what Indonesia said was its waters.

Indonesian Marine Affairs and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti said: “We may take it to the international tribunal of the law of the sea.”

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the fishing boat was operating in “traditional Chinese fishing grounds.”

Indonesian Minister of Foreign Affairs Retno Marsudi said eight detained Chinese fishermen are to be processed in accordance with Indonesian law.

If we want to elevate PRC societal development and national progress to the next level ... ...
We must dare to be frank and admit that ...
... ...many, many PRC citizens are often very, very short sighted to the point of frequently SACRIFICING PRC national welfare for their own personal profits.

Please do not be sloppy and check the truth ... ...
Let's be FRANK and JUST ... ...

There are way too many commercial fishing companies and fishermen from many nations ( including Australia, Vietnam, PRC, Pinoy, Malaysia, Nigeria, ... ... and many others ) who have continuously been stealing from inside Indonesian EEZ ( the world richest fishing EEZ by far ) with impunity, since at least the last 50 years.

===

In the past, they have been caught, reprimanded, and released by the Indonesian Navy, yet they ignore the repeated warnings and keep coming back by stealing more inside Indonesian EEZ.

Now, the Indonesian ministry of Fisheries changes their tactics by sinking the criminal ships. ... ... Thus, it is very unwise and self sabotaged for any Chinese officials and educated and informed Chinese to protest the new Indonesian tactics without studying the historical background of Indonesian stolen natural resources.
Especially at present time, where China is being militarily encircled and surrounded by US, Japan, Australia, and India.

===

For long term national survival, PRC must control, and with maximum effort preventing their own citizens from stealing national resources from FRIENDLY neighboring nations, such as all ASEAN nation ( except Philippines ), Russia, North and South Korea, all other Central Asian nations.

It is morally low, unwise and stupid, when some PRC government officials and educated and informed Chinese are being sloppy, insulting and offensive towards FRIENDLY neighboring nations.

For example: Su-35 sale ... or Stealing fishes from Indonesian EEZ
