Why It Matters
China's coast guard recently conducted a 5-day patrol in Taiwan's eastern waters, which state media claims is part of establishing a 'nearshore governance model.' Taiwan views this as a pretext to expand its jurisdiction.
中國以日本、菲律賓談判專屬經濟海域為藉口,日前派海警船在台灣東部海域「巡查執法」。中共官媒《央視》旗下新媒體「玉淵譚天」今聲稱,這代表中國正逐步建立針對台灣東部海域的「近海治理模式」;陸委會發言人梁文傑今天指出,中共要消滅中華民國的意圖是不會改變,「這不是隱憂,而是明憂」,要靠國家力量保護,包括海軍和海巡。
中國6日起派4艘大型公務船到台灣東部海域開展「海上交通專項執法行動」,中共官媒昨晚宣布行動結束,共持續5日;並提及,此次行動包括掃測,共點驗過往船舶198艘次,其中包括台灣籍漁船,還巡查了鋪設海底電纜、光纜水域。
「玉淵譚天」則指出,中國正逐步建立針對台灣東部海域的「近海治理模式」,未來相關海域將被納入常態化治理與管控範圍,「以後,我們的視野裡會越來越少出現『台灣海峽』,台灣以東海域就是我們的『近海』」。
對此,梁文傑在陸委會記者會表示,中共聲稱對台灣海底電纜或光纜已經全盤勘察,其實早在這之前,中國的科研船等等,早就在相關海域做過很多調查,也不是現在的事。
梁文傑批評,中共這次只是藉口日、菲經濟海域的談判,擴大把台灣東部海域全部納入管轄範圍。實際上,之前就開始這麼做,經常性2到4艘中國海警船在東部海域,這一次只是擴大編隊。
中共聲稱逐步建立對台灣東部海域的「近海治理模式」,梁文傑說,對方做法是藉著一次又一次突發事件步步進逼,時任美國眾議院議長裴洛西訪台,中共開始跨越海峽中線,藉著金門「三無」漁船翻覆事件,到外島禁限制水域常態性執法,現在又藉著日菲經濟水域談判,要進一步跨過來,「這不是隱憂,而是明憂」,還是要靠國家力量保護,包括海軍和海巡署。
梁文傑呼籲,全國同胞要給海巡弟兄更大的支持,這一次從廈門出發的這4艘航艦,我們也是派了4艘航艦「一對一」監視,然後繞行,這對海巡弟兄來說是非常辛苦的。要再次強調,中共要消滅中華民國的意圖是不會改變,而且步步進逼,我們要沉著應對及堅定。
