If the CCP militia ship crosses the border, the Ministry of National Defense: Coast Patrol provides assistance to the main law enforcement units and the navy

Defense Minister Gu Lixiong stated today (12th) that if the Chinese Communist militia fishing boats and coast guard ships have any transgressions, the Coast Guard will be the main eviction and law enforcement unit, and the navy will provide assistance in accordance with the support agreement.

Foreign media recently pointed out that the CCP’s maritime militia ship appeared in the waters east of Taiwan for the first time in August. Regarding the response method, Defense Minister Gu Lixiong stated today (12th) that if the Chinese Communist militia fishing boats and coast guard ships have any transgressions, the Coast Guard will be the main eviction and law enforcement unit, and the navy will provide assistance in accordance with the support agreement.

The Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee of the Legislative Yuan today invited Defense Minister Gu Lixiong to report on "the current status of the retirement and replenishment of national military pilots and the retention mechanism actions" and prepared for questions. Kuomintang legislator Huang Jianbin asked about concerns. Reuters reported that a Chinese Communist maritime militia ship appeared in the waters east of Taiwan in August. This was the first time a maritime militia ship was discovered in this area. If a militia ship enters 12 miles, will the navy or coast guard carry out the "first strike"?

Gu Lixiong said that maritime militia fishing vessels need to be understood through maritime patrols and the contents of the database established by the national army itself. The Ministry of National Defense will use joint intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance methods to closely monitor the dynamics of maritime militia fishing vessels. The Chinese Communist militia fishing boats and coast guard are part of the armed forces. If they cooperate with relevant maritime military operations, the Ministry of National Defense will cooperate with the coast patrol to respond.

Gu Lixiong pointed out that according to the current division of tasks, if the CCP militia fishing boats and coast guard ships have any transboundary behavior, the Coast Guard will first be the main eviction and law enforcement unit, and the navy will provide necessary assistance based on the support agreement.
