On February 14, after a vessel of the Taiwan Coast Guard chased a mainland fishing boat in the waters off Xiajin, resulting in two deaths and two injuries to mainland fishermen, the mainland coast guard carried out inspections and law enforcement in the waters of Xiamen and Kinmen, and boarded a yacht for the first time to inspect the Kinmen yacht.
At the same time, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council put forward two demands on the Taiwan side, one is to properly handle the aftermath of the victims and their families, and the other is to ensure the personal safety and property safety of the fishermen in the future.
On the 14th, after the Taiwan Strait Guard chased and caused two deaths and two injuries to mainland fishermen, on the 19th, the mainland coast guard boarded the "Chu Ri" yacht from Kinmen and conducted a temporary inspection for about 30 minutes. This move caused an uproar on the island, why did the island react so strongly? The reason is very simple: The mainland has actually "confiscated" the waters "restricted and forbidden" by the Taiwan authorities in the Xiajin waters. Moreover, this move has provided a variety of possibilities for the mainland to handle cross-strait affairs in the future, and the scope of handling may be extended from the Jinxia Sea to the Taiwan Strait.
Three signals are obvious.
First, the mainland has proved with law enforcement actions that there is no so-called "forbidden and restricted waters" between Kinmen and Xiamen, and that the Xiajin waters have been a fishing ground shared by fishermen on both sides of the strait since ancient times.
Second, the Fujian Coast Guard will strengthen its police force and carry out regular law enforcement patrols in the Xiajin sea area. This shows that the mainland coast guard has begun to exercise management power over the entire Xiajin sea area.
Third, the mainland coast guard has created more possibilities for future operations.
The Fujian Coast Guard began to carry out regular law enforcement inspections in the Xiajin waters, and the next step is interesting, will Taiwan's "coast guards" come to this sea area to conduct so-called "law enforcement" inspections in the future? Also, when a mainland coast guard ship boarded the ship for inspection, did the Taiwan Strait patrol ship accept the inspection or refuse to inspect it?
One thing is certain: when the mainland coast guard encounters a Taiwan Strait Guard vessel in the Xiajin waters, the mainland coast guard will treat the Taiwan Strait Patrol vessel as an "unlicensed law enforcement vessel" and board the ship to check whether it has legal law enforcement qualifications. What are the legal qualifications? Just like the mainland coast guard ship, there is *** approval, there is an order from the direct management department.
This is the "executive power" mentioned above. The Taiwan Strait patrol ship presented the documents of the Taiwan authorities, which are invalid, do not recognize the pseudo-** of the "92 Consensus", and even the identity is not legal.
Refusing to board a ship from the mainland coast guard for inspection (it was no longer a "temporary inspection" at that time) is not polite, and some "strong measures" can be used to deal with resistance to law enforcement, the ship is towed back to the mainland, the personnel are tried, and the sentence is fined, and the illegal vessel is destroyed; Dare to violently resist the law? That's much simpler, the mainland coast guard ships are all "big ships" of more than 1,000 tons, and they are equipped with incomparable firepower equipment for the Taiwan Strait patrol ships, and they are all options.
One of the "two requirements" of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council: properly handle the aftermath of the victims and their families. How can the Taiwan authorities "properly handle it"? Compensation, apologies, and accountability for the "accident" are the most basic gestures.
Will the Taiwan authorities do this? I don't think so, either cover my ears and pretend to be deaf and dumb; Either the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, hook his fingers to learn Shen Teng - you beat me!
It is extremely likely to pretend to be deaf and dumb, because the top leader of Taiwan's defense department recently said that Taiwan's military will not intervene in the mainland coast guard boarding and inspecting a ship, and that intervening will cause an escalation of the conflict.
This judgment is relatively accurate, the Taiwan military does not intervene, and everything is still the rhythm of "boiling frogs in warm water"; When we get involved, national reunification is on the agenda, and it is a quick and decisive decision.
It has to be said that the Taiwan authorities have learned from the ostrich in a similar way.
