Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-18

Recently, an incident involving the Taiwan Strait Patrol chasing down a mainland fishing boat has triggered tension. According to the Taiwan Strait Guard, the incident occurred in the waters off Kinmen, and the mainland fishing boat was accused of "crossing the line" for fishing, and while the Taiwan Strait Guard was conducting a law enforcement pursuit, the fishing boat suddenly capsized, killing two fishermen and injuring two. However, the reason for the controversy caused by the incident lies not only in the incident itself, but also in the arrogance of the attitude of the Taiwan authorities and the doubts of the outside world about the truth of the incident.

The Taiwan Strait Patrol claimed that mainland fishing vessels had crossed the border, but did not provide conclusive evidence. In addition, they claimed that the mainland fishing boat capsized during the pursuit, but did not explain whether there was excessive use of force or chase. This has raised doubts from all walks of life about the truth of the incident. In a statement, the Taiwan Mainland Affairs Council said that the Taiwan Strait Patrol was "performing its duties in accordance with the law and that there was nothing improper in the process," completely denying any responsibility. This attitude raises questions whether the Taiwan authorities are really willing to investigate the matter and whether there is a possibility of concealing the truth of the incident.

At the same time as the Taiwan authorities' arrogant attitude, the tension has further escalated. Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, strongly condemned the Taiwan side and demanded that the truth of the incident be ascertained immediately. On the island, Ke Wenzhe, chairman of the People's Party, and Qiu Yi, a commentator on current affairs, spoke out one after another, questioning the Taiwan authorities.

Ke Wenzhe said that it is a responsibility to protect the rights and interests of fishermen, but stressed that it should be maintained in a peaceful way, and he should express condolences for the cause. He also called on the two sides of the strait to sit down and negotiate on the issue of "fishing rights" to avoid the recurrence of similar incidents. This position shows that Ke Wenzhe is concerned about the development of the situation and puts forward suggestions to seek solutions to the problem, which is conducive to a sober analysis.

In addition to the People's Party Chairman Ke Wenzhe's voice, Taiwan current affairs commentator Qiu Yi also posted six questions in a row on social **, questioning the suspicious points in the incident. This series of problems directly points to the ambiguity of the incident and arouses the concern of all sectors of society about the truth.

Qiu Yi first pointed out that in the incident in which a mainland fishing boat capsized during the pursuit, the Taiwan Strait Patrol claimed that the fishing boat accidentally capsized during the chase. However, he questioned whether the Taiwan Strait Patrol's patrol boat had ever rammed a mainland fishing boat, revealing possible encounters during the chase. This issue involves the specific course of the pursuit operation, and it is necessary for the Taiwan authorities to provide detailed investigation results to clarify.

Second, Qiu Yi was concerned about the Taiwan Strait Patrol's claim that the incident was "the first case", emphasizing that the previous way to deal with "cross-border" fishing was to broadcast a warning and then expel it. He questioned why law enforcement was intensified during the Chinese New Year, revealing that the timing of the incident may have been influenced by political factors. This issue involves whether the Taiwan authorities have adopted drastic law enforcement measures at a particular moment, and it is necessary to conduct a more in-depth investigation.

The third issue relates to the rescue of ** personnel. The Taiwan Strait Patrol claimed to have rescued the fishermen who fell into the sea immediately after the mainland fishing boat capsized, but Qiu Yi questioned why fishermen who were good at water still died after timely rescue. This problem points to the possible problems in the rescue process of ** personnel, which requires detailed medical identification and accident reproduction.

The rest of the issues related to the geographical location of the Kinmen waters and the differences in law enforcement against different fishing vessels, all of which pointed to possible irrationalities in the incident and needed to be investigated and explained in depth. Qiu Yi said that there are too many suspicious points in the capsizing case of a fishing boat on the mainland, and called on the Taiwan authorities to give a detailed explanation, stressing that the Taiwan authorities must give an explanation to the outside world about these doubts.

It is worth noting that the distance between Kinmen and the mainland is only 2310 meters, so it has always maintained a special place in ***. The mainland has been vigorously promoting cross-strait integration, and exchanges between Kinmen and Xiamen have gradually increased. However, a recent incident involving the Taiwan Strait Patrol chasing a mainland fishing boat has made *** nervous again. In the incident, the Taiwan Strait Patrol took tough law enforcement measures against mainland fishing boats, resulting in the deaths of two fishermen. This incident occurred during the Spring Festival and is considered to be a move taken by the Taiwan authorities to hurt the feelings of the people on both sides of the strait. This kind of behavior has caused a sharp escalation, and people can't help but wonder whether the Taiwan authorities are deliberately taking advantage of this incident to sabotage people-to-people exchanges between Kinmen and the mainland.

In February, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council has issued a voice demanding that the truth be ascertained and strongly condemning the actions of the Taiwan authorities. In the midst of the tension, this incident could become a fuse that added fuel to the fire. If the actions of the Taiwan authorities are really innocent, then they should return the truth to the outside world as soon as possible, so as to avoid further escalation of the incident and affect the peaceful development of the Taiwan authorities.

The complexity lies in historical, cultural, and political factors, so caution is needed when dealing with similar incidents. Through the in-depth investigation of the incident and a fair ruling, it is expected to restore the truth and create more favorable conditions for the stable development of the world. It is hoped that the two sides will be able to handle their differences in a calm and rational manner, seek common solutions, and maintain peace and stability in the region.
