The Coast Guard of the Ocean Commission held the "118 Coast Guard Day Commendation Ceremony" this afternoon. Secretary-General of the Executive Yuan Zhang Dunhan, Chairman of the Ocean Commission Guan Biling and Director of the Coast Guard Zhang Zhonglong attended the ceremony. Faced with the recent case of Zhang Junjie abandoning bail and absconding, Guan Biling apologized to the Chinese people in her speech and hoped that everyone would give them time. Whether there was any negligence or indulgence requires professional investigation. She also encouraged all the Coast Guard, saying that she was well aware of the Coast Guard's efforts over the past 50 days. Although it was a pity that Zhang Junjie was not caught in the face of "cunning and difficult dark forces", the Coast Guard is still a heroic force worthy of the trust of the people across the country.

Guan Biling said that the Coast Patrol has been very hard in recent days. Coast Patrol colleagues immediately tracked down all the criminals from the upper reaches and tried their best to defend the sea area. During these 50 days, the Coast Patrol effectively presided over three expanded roundups. Among the 47 accomplices arrested in the Zhang Junjie case, the Coast Guard also presided over the arrest of 9 people. During the investigation of Zhang Junjie's case, two illegal immigrants were also caught, more than 3 tons of drug smuggling was uncovered, and more than 20 wanted criminals were seized.

Guan Biling described the Fifth Column as "a huge, cunning and difficult dark force." She said that in the face of such a force, she still felt sad and regretful that Zhang Junjie was not caught. However, she was well aware of the efforts of the Coast Guard, so she could not bear to ask the director to come out and apologize to everyone. It was up to her to apologize to the Chinese people.

Guan Biling pointed out that the case is still under investigation, and the Coast Guard has also established an administrative investigation task force. "After the investigation is completed, whatever needs to be done will be done." He also encouraged coast patrol colleagues to still stick to their posts and do their daily work with full confidence.

The captain revealed the stowaway process! Zhang Junjie changed boats and went to sea. The Chinese crew "actually took the helm" and handed over the fishing boat across the middle line.

Zhang Junjie, an aide to Legislator Ko Jin Sumei, was suspected of receiving Chinese funds to develop organizations in Taiwan for more than 10 years. He absconded and smuggled to China before his colleagues Chen Zhiqian and Lin Yijun were interviewed on national security legislation. The procuratorate and maritime patrol traced the fishing boat involved and found that the Chinese crew member Chen Nan was at the helm and crossed the center line of the strait before being handed over to a Chinese fishing boat for rescue. The captain surnamed Huang, the shipowner surnamed Li, the shipowner surnamed Jian and four Indonesian crew members have been transferred to the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office for review.
