Philippines' action irrational

Comment on "Taiwan demands Filipino apology for fisherman's death"(China Daily, May 13)

I condemn the Philippines coast guard for killing a Chinese fisherman. The Filipino government and security forces must respond like civilized beings in sensitive situations instead of shooting people. But I think most Filipino people are nice and hard working. I have had the occasion to know many Filipinos in the 20 years that I have lived in the United States. And there is reason to think that most of them are equally disappointed with their government.
