Seoul, South Korea (CNN)-- A South Korean coast guard commando was stabbed to death and another injured Monday after they boarded a Chinese fishing vessel they suspected of fishing illegally in the Yellow Sea, the coast guard and a South Korean news agency said Monday.
The incident triggered a swift diplomatic response, with the South Korean Foreign Ministry calling in the Chinese ambassador to South Korea to protest, the Yonhap news agency reported. First Vice Foreign Minister Park Suk-hwan "strongly demanded the Chinese government strictly clamp down on illegal fishing and the illegal acts of Chinese fishermen," the news agency quoted him as saying.
South Korea said it had seized the Chinese ship and nine sailors aboard, Yonhap reported.
A spokesman for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Monday that the country is "closely following the case."
spokesman Liu Weimin said. "The two countries had signed relevant fishery agreements. ... Competent authorities have taken measures to educate Chinese fishermen and management of outbound fishing boats to prohibit cross-border fishing and irregularities.
"At the same time," Liu added, "we hope the (South Korean) side will fully protect the rights and interests of Chinese fishermen and provide them with due humanitarian treatment."
The incident started after South Korean commandos boarded the Chinese ship. The captain of that ship "suddenly broke a window pane on the ship" and stabbed one commando several times with a piece of broken glass, Yonhap reported. That commando later died; another was hurt.
South Korean authorities took the ship toward the port at Incheon, west of Seoul.
The Yellow Sea has been a point of contention for several Asian countries, most notably North and South Korea who have long disagreed on whose waters end where.
The South Korean coast guard has stopped hundreds of Chinese boats this year on suspicion of illegal fishing in the sea.
The waters, which are important fishing and crab grounds, are also frequently crowded with boats from China. And disputes over fishing rights have resulted in dozens of boat seizures.
韩国海岸警卫队和韩国通讯社在周一表示，韩国海岸警卫队特种兵周一在登上一艘涉嫌在黄海违规捕鱼的中国渔船后，一名特种兵被刺死，另外一名受伤。
这一事件迅速触发了外交反应，韩国联合通讯社报道，本国外交部称他们已向中国驻韩外交部提出抗议，外交部第一副部长Park Suk-hwan说“强烈要求中国政府严格取缔非法捕鱼和违法行为的中国渔民”。
韩国联合通讯社还报道，韩国已经扣留中国船只并且抓获船只上的九名渔民。中国外交部的一名发言人周一表示，中国“密切关注这个案子。”
中方发言人刘为民表示“中韩两国已经签订渔业协定。……”主管当局已采取措施和管理教育中国渔民禁止渔船处境和跨境钓鱼及其他违规行为。
“同样，”刘为民补充道，“我们希望南韩方面能够充分保护中国渔民的权益，并且为其提供人道主义帮助。”
韩国联合通讯社报道，在韩国海警队员登上中国渔船时，中国渔船船长“突然打破船舱上的玻璃”，一个特种兵被同一块玻璃连刺几下，随后，一名特种兵死亡，还有一名受伤。黄海一直是几个亚洲国家争论的焦点，尤其是韩国和朝鲜，他们经常为黄海海域问题争论。
韩国海岸警卫队已经扣留了数百只中国今年涉嫌在黄海非法捕鱼船只。
黄海水域，是重要的渔业和蟹类捕捞场所，也是中国渔船频繁出没拥挤的地方。渔业海洋权争端导致了大批渔船罚没事件的发生。
