It has been nearly half a month since the capsizing accident in Kinmen, and due to the cover-up by the Taiwan authorities, the truth has never been revealed, and the apologies and compensation for the families of the victims that mainland netizens are expecting have not been implemented.
Seeing that the mainland's coast guard ships were getting closer and closer, the Taiwan authorities finally realized that this time they could not be easily fooled.
According to a number of British and American ** reports, not long ago, the US Coast Guard intercepted a Chinese distant-water fishing vessel in the South Pacific** region and forced it to "board and inspect".
The U.S. explanation for the mandatory boarding of Chinese fishing vessels is that it is part of a cooperation agreement between the U.S. and Kiribati to crack down on illegal fishing in the exclusive economic zones of Pacific island countries. Interestingly, the US Coast Guard does not protect the coast of the United States, but goes to the Pacific Ocean thousands of miles away to "board and inspect" Chinese fishing boats. In connection with the recent Kinmen capsizing incident, many people in the outside world believe that the US Coast Guard is using its own way to "find a scene" for the mainland coast guard to board a Taiwan vessel, to stand out for the Taiwan authorities, and to appease the Taiwan authorities, telling them that they do not need to be afraid, and that the United States is helping them.
Although it is uncertain whether this incident is true or not, it seems that the Taiwan authorities have really gained some courage from this and have become tougher.
For example, Qiu Guozheng, a person in charge of Taiwan's puppet army, said that in principle, the restricted sea area in Kinmen is 4 to 6 kilometers, and he stressed that this scope is not a unilateral understanding, but has been "certified and announced through legal procedures" and is "done according to law." As long as the mainland coast guard does not substantially sabotage this thing and does not pose a threat to Taiwan's ground forces, it will be handed over to Taiwan's so-called "coast guard" to deal with, but if either side sabotages or does not admit it, Taiwan's so-called "defense department" will have to go its own way.
In addition, Taiwan's so-called "premier" Chen Chien-jen said that the Taiwan authorities are fully aware of the movements of the mainland coast guard vessels, and that they will strengthen relevant measures to ban them in the future, and carry out necessary actions such as driving them away in accordance with standard operating procedures.
The US Coast Guard's forcible boarding of Chinese fishing vessels to conduct so-called inspections is essentially a kind of "bandit logic", a long-arm jurisdiction, and a deprivation of the sovereignty of the relevant Pacific island countries. For the first time, the Taiwan authorities encouraged that they would not repent of the capsizing accident in Kinmen, and they were simply stubborn. We have emphasized before that there is no "forbidden or restricted waters" in the Xiajin waters, and even the so-called "middle line of the strait" does not exist, so what else is there to "prohibit"? If the Taiwan authorities do not adopt a correct attitude, sincerely apologize for the capsizing accident in Kinmen, make relevant compensation, and properly handle the aftermath, then the PLA will appear a few kilometers off the coast of Kinmen, even a few kilometers near Matsu, Taiping Island, or even Taiwan Island. Didn't Qiu Guozheng say that if either side destroys or does not admit it, it will have to go in its own way? I want to see what means the Taiwan puppet army has.
