of course it doesn't, and I encourage you to quote where that was claimed.
that neither help nor comfort the fisherman. being third or fourth at the Oppression Olympic doesn't mean that less oppressed people have to suck it up and roll over.
It's a wierd line of reasoning to call trespassers... fisherman. These are "criminals" operating in disputed waters where their actions are classified as illegal by 1+ (frequently more than 1) disputees. They are schrodinger criminals due to grayzone nature of unsettled martime delimitations but umabiguous criminals under someones interpretation who are suppose to be repressed via domestic police enforcement.
Again this isn't just PRC doing it, this is 5 party dispute and most sides are doing their own law enforcement, up until recently with more militarized means like actual weapons discharge - PRC CG wasn't even armed until recently and they're still using relatively mild measures.
The OG comparison was Gaza, the parallel to these fishermen are closer to hamas insurgencies invading sovereign Israeli territory on the grayzone to legal spectrum. But what they are not, are "innocent", Gazans getting repressed (blown up) in their homes.
Well there's a lot of people far more upset about the fishermen than the dead civilians, which is especially weird to me seeing that the people complaining's tax dollars killed said civilians
