In recent years, we have taken a series of strong measures to uphold the legitimate fishing practices of coastal fishermen in traditional fishing waters, and to actively fulfill our law enforcement and judicial responsibilities in these waters. This activity can not only defend the country's territory and honor, but also effectively curb Taiwan's rampant behavior, which is really a gratifying move.
In particular, it should be pointed out that in the past, the law enforcement vessels we were on duty in the waters of Xiamen were all small vessels. For example, although the smaller-tonnage Maritime Surveillance Type 8029 official boat and the Maritime Police Type 14513 patrol boat responded to Taiwan's challenge with excellent results and crossed the sea area known as the "non-forbidden zone". At the same time, we also dispatched two powerful cruisers to the relevant waters to carry out law enforcement duties.
This move shows that China is determined to defend the maritime order and protect the rights of fishermen. Our maritime patrols in Xiamen Bay not only uphold our traditional fishing rights, but also firmly enforce our legal obligations in the region. This has produced a very important and important significance for Taiwan's illegal acts and defending the majesty of the country.
However, in demonstrating our firm stance, we should also be aware that maintaining the stability of the marine environment and the rights of fishermen is a very complex matter. We must be cautious about Taiwan's counterattack so as to ensure that on the premise of safeguarding our own interests, we will try to avoid undue tension. In this process, international understanding and support are essential.
According to the announcement, the No. 202 "Dongtou" and "No. 2203" and "Yuhuan" of our army have arrived at the "Xiamen", and these two "old" class destroyers are equipped with "387 mm" class "military guns", which shows the strong military strength of our army. In contrast, Taiwan's "Chiayi" class cruisers, in addition to having a high displacement, have relatively weak armament. This time, we sent powerful sea boats, not only to protect our maritime security, but also to protect our country, and also to let the whole world know how powerful we are and our say in maritime disputes.
Our firmness on this occasion may be a sign of a change in our country's strategy to solve problems, rather than a moral one. This change may indicate that we are more willing to defend our national sovereignty and interests in a tough way. If Taiwan continues to take such an erroneous posture, we may respond more forcefully, which is not only a symbolic warning, but also a resolute posture to defend Taiwan's sovereignty and security.
This shows that while we have always advocated a peaceful way to resolve disputes, there are times when only force can guarantee our change in strategy, showing a more positive posture on maritime issues. In the face of this situation, we must deal with it calmly, rationally, and prudently, and we must not only ensure our country's interests, but also prevent contradictions from intensifying.
