Kuomintang legislator Xu Qiaoxin held a press conference on the 23rd and exposed the report provided by the whistleblower, saying that the port left side of the mainland fishing boat collided with the port side of our CP-1051 coast guard boat, causing the boat to capsize. In this regard, former legislator Cai Zhengyuan bluntly said that Guan Biling, chairman of the Maritime Affairs Commission, has the responsibility to conceal the evidence, and the vessel is a fishing net casting and net collection vessel, and it cannot even be called a fishing boat, so there is no need for a number and registration certificate in the first place. ”
Cai Zhengyuan pointed out that Guan Biling had the responsibility to conceal evidence, because at the beginning it was claimed that the Coast Guard was chasing a three-nil vessel, but the relevant units had to have some professional knowledge from Guan Biling, and that place was not the high seas or territorial waters for the mainland, and if it was drawn from Quanzhou to Xiamen, the land would be internal water for the mainland, and what was outside the internal water would be territorial waters.
Cai Zhengyuan went on to explain that the mainland fishing boat did not have fine fishing equipment, and after verification, it was found that the vessel was a fishing net casting and net collection vessel, because there was only one winch at the tail end of the vessel, so the capsized mainland vessel was only a working boat, and it could not even be called a fishing boat, so naturally there was no need for a number or registration certificate.
Cai Zhengyuan said that the nets released by mainland fishermen sometimes drift into Taiwan's "forbidden and restricted" waters, and at the same time, Taiwanese fishermen's nets may also drift into the other side's prohibited and restricted waters, which has been ignored by everyone for many years. The reason why the mainland ship fled was because Taiwan's coast guard ship approached quickly, making the other side feel threatened, and as a result, the ship collided in the end. Normally, however, the Coast Guard ship will come to a stop around the vessel and then verbally disperse it. Host Zhu Xueheng also said that the US interception inspection is to bypass the ship and block the ship with its hull, how can it be to hit the stern with the bow of the ship? This is not a standard stop.
If the truth of the matter is not made public, it will cast a highly complicated issue between the international community and the two sides of the strait. Cai Zhengyuan said that the Coast Guard believes that the cause of death of the two dead crew members was drowning, but one of the crew members was even the captain of the boat, and experienced fishermen would not be able to swim out. It can be seen that the impact force must be very large, and the crew may not be able to swim out because they are hit and disabled, and whether the case is due to the impact death or drowning, these must be clarified.
