The 29 Chinese fishermen and three boats seized in the Yellow Sea by unidentified North Koreans are free, Chinese state media reports.

This can only be good news for all involved, especially the families of the fishermen.

Chinese official media, meanwhile, is deleting stories and lying about the entire situation:

PYONGYANG, May 20 (Xinhua) -- All detained Chinese fishermen and their vessels had been freed, the foreign ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said Sunday.

It was reported that the fishing boats and their crews were held in custody by the DPRK on May 8.

A lie.

Chinese media reported on May 8th that the fishermen were kidnapped and a ransom was demanded for their lives.
