SEOUL - South Korean authorities are questioning a Chinese national found in a rubber boat off the country’s west coast, amid reports identifying him as a dissident who has repeatedly tried to flee China.
The man was on a 3.3-metre boat with a 10-horsepower motor when he was spotted about 38 nautical miles off the west coast late on Monday by a fishing vessel whose crew alerted authorities, the Taean coast guard said in a statement.
