This time, however, they fired directly at the fishermen and killed them.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source believed there is a high likelihood the shooting was retaliation for an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/angry-over-bribe-demands-chinese-fishing-boats-ram-north-korean-patrol-boat\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">incident in

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tensions between Chinese fishing boats and North Korean patrols aside, a recent incident led Chinese authorities to temporarily ban their boats from fishing in the waters off Dandong, which sits right across the river from Sinuiju, according to the source.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In June, an empty Chinese fishing boat was discovered in waters near Dandong, with bloodstained footprints and what appeared to be a piece of human ear,\u201d the source said. \u201cAfter the Chinese government conducted an investigation, they concluded that [the incident had] likely been committed by the North Korean coast guard.\u201d Without any way to act on the evidence, however, the Chinese authorities appear to have put the case aside, he added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A source in North Pyongan Province familiar with this incident explained that such \u201cuntoward incidents\u201d have been happening because North Korean soldiers have less income from bribes than before following the closure of the Sino-North Korean border.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMilitary units have become even more brutal since they are barred from going out to sea to earn money because of COVID-19,\u201d the source said, adding, \u201cThe fact that they are willing to commit piracy and even murder has left [many] Chinese people frightened.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Please direct any comments or
