SHIPPING officials fear a sudden switch in ''anti-smuggling'' activity by China after the seizure of a Taiwan-bound container ship belonging to a prominent Hongkong line. Representatives of Excelsior Shipping are trying to secure the release of the 4,943-tonne Thuban, believed to be under armed detention in Zhuhai.
The Taiwanese-registered ship's last radio broadcast on Saturday said it had been boarded by armed Public Security Bureau officials just outside Hongkong waters off Waglan Island. Sources said it was unusual for such action to involve such a prominentfirm as Excelsior.
