Taiwan Rejects Philippine Apology for Taiwanese Fisherman Death

Taiwan's premier Jiang Yi-huah is rejecting the Philippines president's apology for last week's shooting death of a Taiwanese fisherman by the coast guard.

Jiang says President Benigno Aquino's apology is unacceptable because it calls the shooting "unfortunate" and "unintentional."

Taiwan has imposed sanctions on the Philippines including recalling its envoy to Manila and freezing job permits for Philippines workers. Taiwan also plans to hold naval exercises in disputed waters.
