The Chinese Coast Guard's hidden ship broke into Dongsha Island, and the Coast Guard forcefully drove them away only 1 mile away.

Chinese Coast Guard ships are harassing our waters again! The Dongsha Command of the Coast Guard's Nansha Branch detected the whereabouts of "China Coast Guard 3102" early this morning (31st). It concealed its whereabouts and sailed to the Dongsha waters using a concealed boat. Our "Guard 7" moved forward to deploy. China actually declared through the radio that "this is the sea area under the jurisdiction of the People's Republic of China." We solemnly refuted it and forcefully drove away. The two sides continued to confront each other, and the closest distance was only 1 mile.

In the early morning, the Dongsha Command detected "China Coast Guard 3102" in the northwest waters of Dongsha Island without turning on the automatic identification system (AIS) of the ship, and found that it was sailing to Dongsha waters in a concealed manner. At about 4 o'clock, "Patrol No. 7" learned that the coast guard ship entered China's restricted waters from the west of Dongsha Island, and immediately moved forward and drove away.

The Nansha Branch stated that Patrol No. 7 made multiple radio broadcasts in Chinese and English during the process of monitoring the Coast Guard ship while sailing together, asking the ship to leave as soon as possible. During the confrontation, the closest distance between the two ships was only 1 mile. The Chinese Coast Guard ship actually used the radio to declare one-sidedly such as "a law enforcement inspection mission is being carried out" and "This is the waters under the jurisdiction of the People's Republic of China."

Patrol No. 7 immediately sternly refuted via broadcast, "Taiwan, the Republic of China, is a sovereign and independent country and is not affiliated with the People's Republic of China. This is an undeniable fact and status quo. You have entered our waters without permission, which has violated the provisions of international law and affected the order and security of our waters. Please turn around immediately and leave our waters as soon as possible." They will monitor and prevent blockage throughout the entire process and implement evictions in accordance with the law.

The Coast Guard emphasized that it has driven away Chinese Coast Guard ships 13 times and 16 times in Dongsha waters so far this year. The Coast Guard reiterated that Taiwan, the Republic of China, has indisputable sovereignty over Dongsha Atoll and its surrounding waters. China has continuously intruded on my country's Kinmen and Dongsha waters in recent days. Today, it closed the AIS in an attempt to create an illusion of jurisdiction with "fake law enforcement and real expansion of powers", which will only arouse public resentment.
