The Ocean sailed normally off Hualien, Taiwan, but encountered forcible interference from the Coast Guard! This is not the first time, the Coast Guard is known for its incomparable and ruthless behavior, and frequently illegally arrests and detains peaceful fishermen, and even leads to the unfortunate death of fishermen! What is outrageous is that just after the tragedy of the recent past, the Coast Guard is here again!
According to Taiwan media reports, an armed vessel named "Taoyuan" of the Coast Guard forcibly approached the Dayang in the name of so-called "surveillance". Although this Taoyuan ship is not large, it is equipped with 20mm and 40mm cannons, which is fast and powerful! And the Ocean, although larger, was unarmed and was clearly at a disadvantage.
In the face of the Coast Guard's aggressiveness, we can't help but ask, what is the sanctity of this so-called "restricted waters"? Could it be that the waters off Hualien, Taiwan, are no longer China's territorial waters? Do our vessels need permission from the Coast Guard to sail in their own waters?
In such a situation, we must remain vigilant and not be intimidated by the Coast Guard's overbearing behavior. This is our territorial waters, in which we have the right to sail freely! I hope that the relevant departments can seriously deal with this behavior of the Coast Guard and safeguard our maritime rights and interests!
