(Central News Agency, Reporter Wu Wen-jung, Kinmen, 28th) Four Chinese Coast Guard vessels today intruded into Kinmen waters, and Coast Guard patrol boats responded by sailing alongside. The Coast Guard Administration stated that in the past week, Chinese Coast Guard vessels have repeatedly entered Kinmen's restricted waters in formation to harass, "aiming to challenge our maritime jurisdiction and attempt to deceive the international community."
The Kinmen-Matsu-Penghu Branch of the Ocean Affairs Council Coast Guard Administration stated in a press release that at around 2 PM today, four Chinese Coast Guard vessels, "14609," "14531," "14604," and "14530," approached Kinmen's restricted waters. Patrol boats were immediately dispatched to deploy along the restricted water line to respond.
The Kinmen-Matsu-Penghu Branch stated that at 2:50 PM, the Chinese Coast Guard vessels simultaneously intruded into Kinmen's restricted waters from the south of Fengzui and the east of Liaoluo in two separate groups. Coast Guard patrol boats immediately took one-on-one parallel monitoring, collected evidence throughout the process, and broadcasted demands in Chinese and English for them to immediately turn around and leave. The Chinese Coast Guard vessels all turned around and sailed out of Kinmen's restricted waters by 4:52 PM.
The Kinmen-Matsu-Penghu Branch stated that recently, during the fishing season for Spanish mackerel and threadfin, Kinmen fishermen have been going out to sea due to good sea conditions. However, Chinese Coast Guard vessels, under the guise of law enforcement patrols, have taken the opportunity to cross the border and intrude, engaging in cognitive warfare, which is detrimental to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and maritime security and order.
The Coast Guard Administration also stated that in the past week, Chinese Coast Guard vessels have repeatedly entered Kinmen's restricted waters in formation to harass, "aiming to challenge our maritime jurisdiction and attempt to deceive the international community." The Coast Guard, undeterred by difficulties and dangers, will fully defend our blue territory and protect the operating rights of fishermen. (Editor: Chang Ya-ching) 1150428
