当局によると、沿岸警備隊は14日、同国の首都ブエノスアイレス( Buenos Aires )の南1300キロにあるプエルトマドリン( Puerto Madryn )の沖合で中国漁船を発見し、停船を求めたが、漁船側はこれを無視して逃走。沿岸警備隊の船舶に繰り返し体当たりしてきたため、沿岸警備隊に射撃命令が出された。
船長は漁船が沈み始めるまでエンジンを止めなかったという。警察当局の声明によると、乗組員は全員救助され無事だった。

Argentina's coast guard says it sank a Chinese boat that was fishing illegally off its coast
Argentina's coast guard says it sank a Chinese fishing vessel that was fishing in a restricted area off the South American country's coast.
Subscribe Argentina's coastguard has sunk a Chinese fishing trawler that was operating illegally within its territorial waters, the coastguard said on Tuesday.
In a high-seas chase, a coastguard vessel on Monday pursued the fishing vessel Lu Yan Yuan Yu 010 toward international waters, firing warning shots across the Chinese boat's bow as it attempted to raise the crew by radio.
"On several occasions, the offending ship performed maneuvers designed to force a collision with the coastguard, putting at risk not only its own crew but coastguard personnel, who were then ordered to shoot parts of the vessel," the coastguard said in a statement.
It was not clear if the vessel sank on Monday or Tuesday.
Officials at the Chinese Embassy in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, were not available for comment.
The coastguard said it rescued four of the trawler's crew while others who abandoned ship were picked up by another Chinese vessel shadowing the pursuit. (Reporting by Juliana Castilla and Richard Lough; editing by Grant McCool)
