Join hands to fight off pirates

International communities should join hands to crack down on pirates rather than take separate countermeasures, says an article in Wen Wei Po. Following is an excerpt:

For example, currently, countries concerned have adopted separate measures to escort their ships against attacks and international communities have launched few collective battles against pirates.
