A Chinese police officer died after around 20 Vietnamese men attacked him and other officers who had impounded a vessel suspected of smuggling in southwestern China, the local customs said yesterday.
Li Shunlin, 26, and seven other police officers were taking the impounded boat to a pier last week when a Vietnamese vessel entered Chinese territory on the Red River in Yunnan Province and tried to ram the impounded boat, according to a statement by the Customs District in the provincial capital of Kunming.
It said the Vietnamese were armed with long knives and iron bars and tried to board the impounded boat.
The Vietnamese threw rocks at Li and his colleagues while trying to push the impounded boat into Vietnamese waters, the statement said.
Li was hit in the head, fell into the water and was swept away by the swift currents.
His body was recovered two days later in Vietnam.
Chinese customs impounded five Vietnamese boats and smuggling suspects were taken into custody, the statement said, without specifying whether they included the attackers or their boat.
