【新唐人2012年5月23日訊】被朝鮮抓扣13天後，三艘中國漁船和28名漁民21號返回大連。中共媒體一改低調報導中朝爭端的傳統做法，高調要求「朝鮮必須守規矩」，同時要求官方公布朝鮮抓扣中國漁民的真相，讓中國民間的態度直接與朝鮮面對面。外界評論指出，中共不知醜的宣揚中國漁民被虐，是想挑起民族主義，轉移內部政治危機的手段。
5月8號，三艘中國漁船在黃海中國海域捕魚時被朝鮮軍警控制，28名漁民被扣。經過密切磋商後，朝鮮20號宣佈放回中國漁船和漁民，但三艘被扣中國漁船的物資全被搶光，多數船員的衣服也被扒得只剩內衣。
被扣船長朱闖介紹，當時他們正在中國漁業區作業，卻遭越界的朝鮮士兵強行登船，28名漁民全被關押在船上一個裝垃圾的小船艙中，朝鮮士兵不准船員說話，吃喝拉撒都限制在狹窄的船艙中，其中還有人兩天沒有吃喝，有的船員甚至被毆打，身上有多處傷痕。朝方還要求120萬元的贖金，後來降為90萬元。
在外界看來，中國和朝鮮是盟友關係，但傳出中國漁船被朝鮮扣留，甚至被勒索贖金的消息後，無不驚訝。
時事評論專家伍凡：「這件事情是金正恩動手的，來對中共施壓，他要拿點甚麼東西，或者是他不願意聽從中共對他的指揮：停止核試驗、停止導彈發射啊等等，他不願意，然後他就採取這些動作。」
伍凡認為，朝鮮之所以敢這樣做，問題出在中共高層。中共一直把朝鮮當成盟友看，可是朝鮮並不把中共當成盟友。雙方的合作也是為了各自的利益互相利用。
有傳媒聲稱，朝鮮透過第三者，向進入丹東水域的漁船收取「幫艇費」，是公開的潛規則，數額按漁船馬力收取，一般不超過5萬元。如果沒有付費，就會被朝鮮扣船、逮捕及罰款，數額高達20萬﹔有時他們也會從接壤的黃海中國水域強行把漁船拖到朝鮮水域，再索取罰款。
不過中共這次一反常態，《環球時報》高調發表了題為《中朝友誼應當看得見摸得著》的社評，強調「中朝友誼歸友誼，具體事上如果朝方一些人員胡來，中方決不能允許」，「朝鮮必須守規矩，尊重中方的每一項具體利益，尤其要尊重中國公民的生命及財產安全。」
時事評論員史達：「朝鮮對中國漁民粗暴的對待，在邊界上的一些衝突，不是一天兩天了，不是一件事、兩件事，很多的。很明顯這個時候把它公布出來是明顯的想轉移視線。因為國內政治這些事件太多，所以把這個事情轉移出來。」
史達認為，中共從南海爭端到現在公布「盟友挑釁」的醜聞，就是為了激發民眾的「民族主義」情緒而轉移國內注意力，這是中共擺脫困境的計策。
據「遼丹漁」23536號船長韓強介紹，朝鮮釋放中國船員前，還讓船員們簽署了兩份文件，一份是承認「越界捕魚」並「甘願接受罰款」，另一份是「釋放」的文件，內容是從朝中關係出發，對於船員們的行為不予追究，但是以後不准再次「越界捕魚」。
對此，伍凡指出，這次中共簡直臉丟大了，在家門口都不能保護自己的漁民，算甚麼政府？

Chinese Communist Party Media Warns North Korea
After being arrested and detained by North Korea for 13 days,
three Chinese fishing boats and 28 fishermen returned to Dalian on May 21st.
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) media changed their usual
practices of low-key reports on the Sino-Korean dispute.
They created high-profile news; “North Korea must abide by
the rules”, and must release the facts behind North Korea
arresting and detaining Chinese fishermen, to influence
the Chinese private sector to focus on North Korea.
Outside comments said the CCP shamelessly spread news
that Chinese fishermen were abused.
They wanted to stir up nationalism and transfer internal
political crisis.
On May 8th, three Chinese fishing boats were controlled by
North Korean military when in the Yellow Sea waters.
28 fishermen were detained. With close negotiations,
North Korea announced on May 20th
they would release the Chinese fishing boats and fishermen,
but fishing supplies were all confiscated.
Most of the crew were also stripped of their clothes and left
with only underwear.
Detained Captain Zhu Chuang said while they were fishing
in Chinese fishing zone,
North Korean soldiers crossed the border,
and forcibly boarded the vessel, detaining all 28 on board.
The fishermen were all detained in a small cabin used for
rubbish, and were not allowed to speak.
All activities were restricted within the small cabin.
Some had not had any food or drink for two days.
Some were beaten, and got many bodily injuries.
North Korean asked for a ransom of RMB 1.2 million,
which they later reduced to RMB 900,000.
To the outside world, China and North Korea are in alliance.
The news that Chinese fishing boats were detained by North
Korea and China was asked a ransom, surprised everyone.
Commentator expert Wu Fan said: “This was done by Jin
Zheng’en to put pressure on the CCP.
He wants to take away something, or he does not want to
listen to the command of CCP;
like stopping nuclear tests, stopping the missile launch, etc.
He did not want to listen, and then he took these actions."
Wu Fan believes that North Korea dares to do this
because of the CCP leadership.
The CCP treats North Korea as an ally, but North Korea
does not regard the CCP as their ally.
Their cooperation is to take advantage of each other for
Self interests.
Some media claimed that North Korea charged a fee from
fishing boats entering Dandong waters through a third party.
This is an open unspoken rule. The amount charged is based
on fishing boats’ engine horsepower, normally not exceeding RMB 50,000.
If you do not pay, you will be arrested,
detained and fined by North Korea.
The fine is up to RMB 200,000. Sometimes they will forcibly
drag fishing boats into Korean waters and then fined.
The CCP behaved uncharacteristically this time publishing
a high profile report in Global Times.
The report entitled “China-DPRK friendship should be visible
and tangible" stressed the “China-DPRK friendship”
But if North Korea behaved badly on specific things,
then China must not allow it".
“North Korea must abide by the rules, respect China’s specific
interests; mostly the lives and properties of Chinese citizens."
Commentator Shi Da said: “the Korean brutal treatment of
Chinese fishermen and conflicts on the border, has lasted a while, and relates to many cases.
It is obvious that the CCP tries to divert attention
by releasing them now.
There are too many domestic political events, so it tries
to use the situation to divert attention away from it.”
Shi Da believes from the South Sea dispute, to announcing
its ally’s provocative behavior,
the CCP tries to arise people’s nationalist sentiment and
divert their attention. It is a bailout plan for the CCP.
According to Caption Han Qiang of boat Liao Dan fisheries
#23536, North Korea forced the crew to sign two documents.
They only release them after that. One was recognizing they
fished across the border, and are willing to accept the penalty.
The second is a releasing document, saying from the DPRK-
China relations, the behavior of the crew was forgiven, but they are not allowed to fish across the border again.
Wu Fan pointed out the CCP just loses face enormously.
It can not protect the fishermen in front of their home. What kind of government is that?
