Unknown Chinese man escapes in rubber dinghy going to Taiwan
According to Taiwan's Minister of National Defense Chiu Kuo-cheng, who revealed on May 3, the navy and maritime patrol never saw a Chinese national enter Taiwanese waters. Some locals are not buying it and say it might be more than a smuggling case, reported the Epoch Times.
Zhou, a 33-year-old Chinese man, told officials that he sailed from Fujian, China, at 10 a.m. on April 30 and headed straight to Taiwan to be free. Zhou traveled an estimated 100 miles, or 160 kilometers before reaching Taiwan.
