1. The cause and background of the incident
The Taiwan Strait, a narrow body of water connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, has been a geopolitical intersection since ancient times. In recent years, with the tension and complexity of the Taiwan Strait, the situation in the Taiwan Strait has attracted more and more attention. Against this background, the close game between the Taiwan Strait patrol boats and the mainland coast guard ships has undoubtedly become a microcosm of the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
The cause of the incident can be traced back to a recent naval confrontation. The people of Kinmen witnessed the scene of the Taiwan Strait patrol boat and the mainland coast guard ship meeting in the middle of the south coast of Kinmen, and the distance between the two sides was very close, and it could even be said that it was a close game. Such a confrontation is not only a test of the performance of the ships and crew skills of the two sides, but also a severe challenge to cross-strait political and military relations.
2. The provocation and confidence of the Taiwan Strait patrol boat**
In this incident, the Taiwan Strait patrol boat showed a fearless posture and tried to play a close game with the mainland coast guard ship. There are many kinds of confidence behind this kind of provocative behavior**.
First of all, the confidence of the Taiwan Strait patrol boats is the hardline stance of the Taiwan authorities. In order to win the support of the people on the island, the Taiwan authorities have tried to resist the pressure of the mainland by showing their so-called "determination" and "courage." In such a political atmosphere, the provocative behavior of the Taiwan Strait patrol boat can be regarded as a political tactic of the Taiwan authorities.
Second, the confidence of the Taiwan Strait patrol boats is still supported by external forces. The United States and other external forces have always regarded Taiwan as an important strategic fulcrum in the Asian region, so they have provided certain military and political support to Taiwan. This kind of support has emboldened the Taiwan authorities on the Taiwan Strait issue and has also given the Taiwan Strait patrol boats greater confidence.
However, this confidence is based on extreme danger and instability. Military confrontation and tension in the Taiwan Strait have been going on for years, and excesses by either side could cause the situation to spiral out of control. In the event of a conflict or miscalculation, the consequences will be unimaginable.
3. The Mainland's Coast Guard's Firm Stance and Countermeasures

In the face of the provocative behavior of the Taiwan Strait patrol boat, the mainland coast guard ship took firm and forceful countermeasures. Through regular law enforcement and patrol actions, they safeguard national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and at the same time send a clear message to the outside world: Taiwan is part of China, and any attempt to ** the country will be severely cracked down.
The firm stance of the mainland coast guard vessels is not only a powerful response to the provocative behavior of the Taiwan Strait patrol boats, but also a warning to the Taiwan authorities and external forces. By displaying its powerful maritime strength, the mainland hopes that the Taiwan authorities will have a clear understanding of the situation, give up their "illusions, and return to the road of peaceful development." At the same time, it is also hoped that through such actions, external forces will realize the danger of interfering in the affairs of the Taiwan Strait and the consequences of irresponsible behavior.
Fourth, the complexity and sensitivity of the situation in the Taiwan Strait
The close game between the Taiwan Strait patrol boats and the mainland coast guard ships is only a microcosm of the complexity and sensitivity of the situation in the Taiwan Strait. As an important body of water connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, the Taiwan Strait region has always been a geopolitical meeting point. With the tension and complexity of the Taiwan Strait, the situation in the Taiwan Strait has become more and more concerning.
On the one hand, military confrontation and tension in the Taiwan Strait have been going on for many years. Both sides are constantly stepping up military deployments and displays of strength in an attempt to occupy a more advantageous position in the Taiwan Strait. This kind of military confrontation not only increases the tension level of the situation in the Taiwan Strait, but also increases the risk of conflict between the two sides.
On the other hand, the sensitivity of the situation in the Taiwan Strait is also reflected in many aspects. First of all, the Taiwan issue involves China's sovereignty and territorial integrity and is an important part of China's core interests. Any attempt to ** the state will be resolutely opposed and cracked down on by China. Second, the sensitivity of the situation in the Taiwan Strait is also reflected in the interference and infiltration of external forces. The United States and other external forces have been trying to interfere in the affairs of the Taiwan Strait in various ways in an attempt to include Taiwan in their strategic system. Such interference not only violates international law and basic norms governing international relations, but also seriously undermines China's national interests and sovereign security.
5. Peace and stability with the Taiwan Strait
The close-quarters game between the Taiwan Strait patrol boat and the mainland coast guard ship has once again highlighted the complexity and sensitivity of the situation in the Taiwan Strait. On this issue, the excesses of either side could lead to the situation spiraling out of control. Therefore, we should remain calm and exercise restraint and jointly safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait through peaceful dialogue and cooperation.
First of all, the two sides of the strait should strengthen communication and dialogue to resolve antagonism and misunderstanding. Enhance mutual understanding and trust by increasing communication channels, expanding the scope of exchanges, and deepening the content of exchanges. At the same time, the two sides should respect each other's core interests and concerns, and refrain from excesses or rhetoric that exacerbate conflicts.
Second, the two sides of the strait should strengthen cooperation and jointly safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. On the Taiwan Strait issue, the two sides should adhere to the "92 Consensus", oppose "first-class acts, and safeguard the overall situation of peaceful development." At the same time, the two sides should also strengthen cooperation and exchanges in the fields of economy, trade, culture and education, and promote peaceful development and mutual benefit.
Finally, the international community should also play an active role in jointly maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. All countries should respect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity and refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of the Taiwan Strait. At the same time, all countries should strengthen cooperation and communication to jointly promote regional peace and stability.
6. Conclusions and prospects
The close game between the Taiwan Strait patrol boats and the mainland coast guard ships is a microcosm of the complexity and sensitivity of the situation in the Taiwan Strait. On this issue, the excesses of either side could lead to the situation spiraling out of control. Therefore, we should remain calm and exercise restraint and jointly safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait through peaceful dialogue and cooperation.
Looking ahead, the direction of the situation in the Taiwan Strait is still full of uncertainties. However, as long as we adhere to the path of peaceful development, strengthen cross-strait communication, dialogue and cooperation, and jointly maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, we will certainly be able to promote peaceful development and achieve long-term peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. Let us work together to contribute to peace and prosperity in the Taiwan Strait.
