Recently, the situation in the Taiwan Strait has become tense again. In the face of the increasingly arrogant and provocative acts of the Taiwan authorities, the mainland side has resolutely adopted tough measures, demonstrating its firm determination to safeguard state sovereignty and the rights and interests of fishermen.
According to reports, a Fujian fishing boat was violently removed by a law enforcement vessel of the Taiwan authorities in the waters off Kinmen, resulting in four fishermen falling overboard, two of whom were unfortunately killed. This incident has aroused strong concern from all walks of life. The attitude of the Taiwan authorities after the incident is even more outrageous; they not only tried to obscure the truth, but also tried to shift the responsibility to the mainland side, claiming that it was the mainland's fishing boat's "cross-line" operation that caused the tragedy.
In response to such unreasonable quibbles, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council promptly responded and severely condemned the irresponsible behavior of the Taiwan authorities. Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, clearly pointed out that the Taiwan region is an inalienable part of China, and fishermen on both sides of the strait have a long history of traditional fishing grounds in the Xiajin waters, and there is no so-called "prohibited and restricted waters" at all. She stressed that these so-called "restriction lines" were unilaterally drawn by the Taiwan authorities and have never been recognized by the mainland.
Under such circumstances, the Mainland Coast Guard acted quickly, issued a notice to strengthen maritime law enforcement forces, and carried out regular law enforcement patrols in the Xiajinhai waters. This measure aims to maintain order in the sea area and protect the lives and property of mainland fishermen. At the same time, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) also dispatched a large number of military aircraft** to carry out operations in the Taiwan Strait, demonstrating a strong deterrent against the Taiwan authorities.
This series of actions has sent a clear message: The Taiwan authorities must give an explanation for their egregious behavior. They cannot enjoy the goodwill and tolerance of the mainland side while constantly provoking and sabotaging the mainland side has made it clear with concrete actions that it will resolutely crack down on and counterattack any behavior that undermines national sovereignty and the rights and interests of fishermen.
In addition, we also need to be vigilant against the influence of the US factor in the situation in the Taiwan Strait. According to reports, before the incident, American special forces had just arrived in Kinmen. This makes people wonder whether the United States is behind the scenes and trying to aggravate tensions in the Taiwan Strait. In this regard, we must maintain a high degree of vigilance and resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
In short, the development of the situation in the Taiwan Strait has touched the hearts of hundreds of millions of people. We firmly believe that with the firm determination and effective measures taken by the mainland, the Taiwan authorities will certainly pay a heavy price for their provocative acts. At the same time, we also call on compatriots on both sides of the strait to work together to promote peaceful development and benefit the people on both sides of the strait.
