After a video of less than 30 seconds was circulated in the community a few days ago, a netizen posted another one-minute video on IG on the 7th, which included more perspectives of the fishing boat being sprayed. The video not only showed children on the boat, but also a group of people happily fishing and introducing sashimi. After being driven away by the broadcast and still refusing to listen, they were hit hard by water cannons.
Netizens left comments questioning this, "The taxes I paid have become what makes us happy", "This is where Taiwanese people's taxes are spent", "It's really a bad example to play like this with children", "I'm going to fucking introduce Sashimi, I'll make you all wet right away", "I've been warned and expelled, but you're still laughing and joking over there. "It makes me angry when I see you fishing", "Is it reasonable to go to other countries' waters and refuse to cooperate with the eviction?", "Is there a broadcast asking you to leave? Don't you understand Chinese? Do you think they are just playing with you?" Some netizens sarcastically said, "I'm sorry, let me ask, is our water column too strong, or is your boat too broken?"
Some netizens also asked, "Is the reason for not leaving because the ship is broken?" Other netizens bluntly said, "It's not that the ship is broken. It's because the brain is broken and they are tough." "They radioed back that they had no intention of leaving." "China thinks it is China's waters, so it won't leave." "Maybe the whole family originally wanted to defect to freedom."
This video was also reposted on threads by netizens this morning, sparking heated discussions once again. Netizens said, "I really don't understand being trolled and then edited into a video." "At the beginning, they were verbally persuaded to leave. They knew there were children on the boat, but they still wanted to provoke the patrol boat. I really don't understand what these people are doing." What were you thinking?" "I didn't expect to be able to see the perspective of being sprayed..." "I didn't expect to be able to see the perspective of the inside of the ship." "It's okay to have foreskin ears and not listen to being sprayed." "Chinese people usually say: 'Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away it is.' Now I'm responding to them, and it's already crossed the line."
Some netizens said, "I didn't expect this water column to be so strong! It can break glass." "It turns out that the water cannon is real." "It feels like it has been bombed."
