North Korean military detained Chinese fishing boat. First thing

环球时报记者报道：5月5日夜间，一艘载有16名中国渔民、编号为“辽普渔25222”的辽宁渔船被朝鲜军方扣押。朝方至少8次致电中国船东，逼交至少60万元人民币“罚款”，否则将在19日中午12时前没收渔船并遣返渔民。
Summary:
On May 20, China's Global Times used the above headline to report on an incident that should have happened during the night of May 5 when North Korean navy stopped the "Liao Pu Fish 25222", a Chinese fish trawler from China's Liaoning province, and detained its 16 crew members. At least 8 times the North sent a telegram to the Chinese ship owner pressing him for handing over at least 600.000 Renminbi [i.e. Chinese Yuan] as a "penalty". If this shouldn't happen before noon May 19, the fishing boat would be confiscated while the fishermen would be repatriated.
The above picture has been taken from sohu.mil, another Chinese source that referred to the Global Times article. The same subject reappeared in different Chinese publications on May 22. The Global Times then came with the following headline:
中国要求朝鲜说明扣船事件 劫船者身份引关注
China demands North Korea to explain the incident of the detained ship.
Robbing part of the ship has caused much attention.

... when an enemy confronts you angrily for a long time without either joining battle or leaving his position, then you must watch him with utmost care.
Update on May 24:
外界应鼓励朝鲜态度的变化
The echo from the outside world urges [or: encourages]
North Korea to bring about a highest degree of change.
It's about the visit of Kim Jong Un's special envoy to China who arrived yesterday, May 23, and declared the goal of his visit being to "improve and consolidate" Chinese - North Korean relations.
