The Chinese Red Cross estimated 2,600 fatalities. That's a lot of fishermen.
Lots of places claim this, I followed some circular sourcing to different newspapers but no primary source, if you have an actual primary source share it, otherwise it's a matter of whether I trust western media to report accurately on a color revolution, and of course I don't.
If you find evidence from the Chinese Red Cross I'm listening.
Took me all of 3 minutes to Google this, open up Wikipedia and read:
The Society's leadership from the 1920s-1940s was closely tied with the American and British Red Cross societies, the Kuomintang government and the Shanghai business community.
Took me all of 1 second to realize that the massacre happened after the 1940s.
Then it took me all of an additional minute to read what happened after the 1940s in the Wikipedia article:
"The Chinese Communist Party re-organized the Red Cross organization in Beijing and was admitted to the International Federation in 1950."
