The incident that occurred on 14 February in which a mainland fisherman's fishing boat capsized in the waters off Kinmen, resulting in the death of two people, was another serious incident in the long history of the confrontation between mainland China and Taiwan.
According to a report by Taiwan's United News Network, the Kinmen District Prosecutor's Office claimed that the Taiwan Strait Patrol did not make any video, and that the mainland fishing boat capsized because "the chase was very short, at that time both sides were driving at a super high speed and the other side kept snakering, and the coast guard team did not have time to take out the video equipment to record, the two sides accidentally collided, the speedboat capsized on the spot, and the four crew members fell into the sea.
This matter is too strange, and there are two doubts in total:
1.Why do fishermen who are familiar with the nature of the water drown due to collisions?
Fishermen who live at sea all year round must be very familiar with water, and if it is just a simple drowning, it will not cause serious consequences for two people to die by drowning.
2.Why do fishing boats frequently perform serpentine maneuvers.
According to Taiwanese reports, the chase on February 14 took place in the waters near Nanding Island, southeast of Kinmen. The distance from the former reef of the mainland is about 114km。According to the statement of the "forbidden and restricted sea area" unilaterally set up by the Taiwan side, as long as the fishing boat travels about 5 kilometers, it can leave the "forbidden and restricted sea area" of the Taiwan side.
At this time, the best strategy for the fishing boat must be to run in a straight line and quickly disengage.
When this happens, our best response is to get to the bottom of the matter and not let the two fishermen die unjustly.

On the 21st, survivors Xu Zhongan and Wang Yuanxiang said in an interview:
At about 12 o'clock, we drove out on a boat, and at about 12:50 p.m., we saw the "Bao" (Taiwan's "Coast Guard Ship") set sail and set off on our boat. How could our own ship capsize? (Even if you make a sharp turn), you can't turn over, and you won't be able to turn over until you hit it. One rush knocked us over. We got out of the water and only 2 of the 4 people came ashore. The fishermen on both sides of us fished, we didn't do anything to him, they came to us before, we were very good to them, this time he was so disappointed with us!The fishermen's tears are an accusation against the puppet Coast Guard, pitiful of the two precious lives!
They just fished normally in our waters, and they were not at fault, but they were knocked over by the other party's pseudo-sea patrol!
