Absolutely disgusting behaviour but in reality, to be expected.
Quote:
Chinese scavengers have violated the sanctity of the war graves of 840 Royal Navy sailors. Individuals from China illegally extracted remnants of wreckage from the sunken World War 2 ships, HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse which were targeted by Japanese torpedo bombers near the Malaysian coast, a mere two days after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
These wrecks hold the status of being designated British war grave sites and are meant to be safeguarded.
Photographs obtained by The Sun show the immense dredger named Chuan Hong 68 in the vicinity of the wrecks.
This vessel operates under the Chinese flag and has previously been associated with unauthorized salvage operations.
