What a picture, I must say! Two Japan Coast Guard vessels JCG Muzuki & JCG Nobaru ramming a Chinese Maritime Militia boat whose crew had illegally placed a Chinese flag on Japan's Uotsuri Island! Chinese militia got the treatment they deserve! @MalayaIrredenta @ChongJaIan

A satellite view of Chinese illegal, unreported & unregulated (IUU) fishing vessels swarming in Peruvian waters! Chinese vessels illegally enter Peruvian waters mostly to catch giant squids. @MalayaIrredenta @nthusharon @ChongJaIan

This Chinese fishing boat, sailing illegally inside Japan's water, deliberately hit a Japanese Coast Guard vessel, when asked to leave. No ordinary fishing boat would mess with Coast Guards of other countries inside foreign waters. @poyjampoy @MalayaIrredenta @informedph2

A Chinese fishing militia vessel illegally entered South Korea's territory. When challenged, Chinese vessel tried to hit South Korean Coast Guard Ship. South Korean Coast Guard then threw grenade at the Chinese boat. This is how you deal with Chinese Militia! @MalayaIrredenta

They are Chinese state backed militants who, on the behalf of the Chinese Communist Party, forcefully enforce China's dominance in the region. The Chinese Maritime Militia doesn't care about rules based order navigational safety, & territorial sovereignty of littoral nations.

If you think Chinese Maritime Militia is a threat only in South China Sea, you need to see this! An Argentinian Coast Guard aircraft is keeping an eye on hundreds of Chinese fishing boats sailing illegally inside Argentina's EEZ! via~ @visegrad24 @MalayaIrredenta @ChongJaIan

There shouldn't be any mercy while dealing with them. Let them taste their own medicine! If peace has to be restored in the region, China's dreaded maritime militia must be dismantled to pieces! 3/3

On March 15 2016 a Chinese Maritime Militia vessel illegally entered Argentinian territory & it's crew soon regretted! When Chinese boat didn't comply with Argentine Coast Guard's repeated order to leave area, it was sunk! 1/3 @MalayaIrredenta @PacStandardTW @ChongJaIan

Peru used to be the biggest producer of Gaint Squids, however, due to the illegal fishing activities by Chinese fishing vessels, the giant squid population inside Peruvian waters has sharply dwindled, causing billions of dollars worth of revenue loss to the Peruvian government.

This Chinese fishing vessel, Change Tai 80,2 was detained by authorities off Peru. It was illegally operating inside Peruvian waters with it's AIS turned off! Most of the crew on this vessel were migrant workers from Indonesia, forced to live like slaves! @MalayaIrredenta

Despite being radio challenged & ordered to leave, a Chinese distant water fishing vessel, Yuan Yu 010, continued to illegally sail inside Argentinian territory. Argentina’s coast guard sank the vessel, after it tried to ram a coast guard boat. @MalayaIrredenta @CarpioJudge

Peru recently seized over six tons of Shark Fin from Chinese fishing boats operating illegally inside Peruvian waters. All these shark fins were being illegally transported to China. And then, China talks about conserving marine ecosystem. @supbrow @ChongJaIan @MalayaIrredenta
