Today, Chinese Coast Guard ships once again broke into the restricted waters of Kinmen in a formation. They were first detected by the 12th patrol area and deployed forward. Kinmen patrol boats resisted the coast guard ships despite the force of level 7 waves.
The Kinmen Peng Branch of the Coast Guard stated that Chinese Coast Guard ships once again broke into the restricted waters of Kinmen in a formation today. They were first detected by the aircraft of the 12th Patrol Area and deployed forward. The Kinmen patrol boats resisted the Coast Guard ships despite level 7 waves. Due to the rough waves, even the photographers and recorders were shaking violently up and down the ship. The situation was dangerous. It was not until around 5 p.m. that all four Chinese Coast Guard ships were driven away.
The Kinmapeng Branch Office pointed out that the northeast monsoon strengthened in the afternoon and the walrus was bad. Near 3 o'clock, four Chinese Coast Guard ships "14608", "14531", "14604" and "14530" were deployed in two groups and came from Kinmen to Luo Dongfang and Zhai Shanxi respectively. The south broke into the restricted waters of Kinmen. The coast guard boats braved strong winds and waves and closely monitored their navigation intentions. They strongly prevented the Chinese coast guard ships from continuing to penetrate into our waters and continued to broadcast radio broadcasts in Chinese and English to drive them away. All Chinese coast guard ships left the restricted waters of Kinmen at nearly 5 p.m.
The Coast Guard stated that Chinese coast guard ships have been intruding intensively recently, with formations intruding into Kinmen waters six times in the past 11 days. This time, the Chinese coast guard insisted on intruding in formation despite the bad walrus conditions, disregarding navigation safety and causing great navigation risks to passing ships. It is an extremely unprofessional and irrational behavior.
The Coast Guard Administration stated that China continues to undermine regional peace and stability with "pretend law enforcement and real power expansion". Coast Guard units maintain high-intensity surveillance, response and deployment around the clock. Once intrusive behavior by the Chinese Coast Guard is discovered, they will uphold a firm law enforcement stance and make every effort to ensure maritime security.
