Taiwan authorities are taking greater actions to protect its fishing boats following public outrage over the killing of the Taiwan fisherman.

Its military says its patrol fleets can retaliate with weapons if a war is provoked. Taiwan has dispatched four naval vessels to beef up patrols in waters near the Philippines. Its air force is also sending fighter jets to step up air patrols. The move comes shortly after authorities issued an ultimatum demanding Manila apologize to Taiwan and compensate the family of the dead man.
