Half a month has passed, and the fog of the Kinmen shipwreck has not yet lifted. Under the cover-up strategy of the Taiwan authorities, the truth is out of reach, and the expectations of mainland netizens are like a stone in the sea.
However, the mainland's determination is as solid as a rock, and the Fujian Coast Guard has started regular patrols in the waters of Xiajin, pressing forward step by step. At a time when the Taiwan authorities were under pressure, the news came as if it brought a hint of relief.
But truth and justice, how can it be delayed?
A number of British and American ** disclosed that recently, the U.S. Coast Guard intercepted and boarded a Chinese distant-water fishing vessel in the heart of the South Pacific, and although no violations were found, they claimed that the move was to implement an agreement with Kiribati to combat illegal fishing in the exclusive economic zone.
Such long-distance enforcement actions raise questions about what kind of law is the basis for this. In view of the capsizing and sinking of the Kinmen vessel, the outside world speculates that the actions of the US Coast Guard may be "regaining balance" for the mainland coast guard's previous law enforcement in Taiwan's waters, indirectly supporting the Taiwan authorities and sending a signal of protection.
Although the statement of "looking for a scene" has yet to be confirmed, it seems to have aroused a certain confidence on the part of the Taiwan authorities, and their stance has become firmer.
For example, Chiu Kuo-cheng, a representative of Taiwan's puppet regime, stressed that the management limit of the sea area around Kinmen is 4-6 kilometers, and this is not a unilateral view, but has been confirmed and made public through legal procedures, and he insists on acting in accordance with the law.
As long as the mainland coast guard does not interfere with routine affairs and does not pose a threat to Taiwan's land forces, this part of the matter will be left to them"Coast Guard"Charge. However, in the event of any interference or non-compliance, Taiwan's so-called"Defense sector"We will act in accordance with our own rules.
As for Taiwan's so-called"Dean of the Executive Council"Chen Chien-jen revealed that the Taiwan authorities have complete control over the movements of mainland coast guard vessels, and will strengthen supervision in the future, follow established procedures, and carry out measures such as expulsion when necessary to ensure order in the sea area.
The US Coast Guard's forcible boarding of Chinese fishing boats is in fact a manifestation of hegemonic logic, an act of ultra vires, and an infringement of the autonomy of neighboring Pacific island countries.
The attitude of the Taiwan authorities after the Kinmen boat accident is still stubborn and ignores the facts. We have long pointed out that there is no so-called "forbidden zone" or "restricted area" in the waters of Xiamen and Kinmen, and there is no "middle line of the strait".
Here, we solemnly warn that if the Taiwan authorities do not take a correct stand, do not apologize for the Kinmen accident, do not make compensation, and properly handle the follow-up, then the PLA's actions will be extended not only a few kilometers along the coast of Kinmen, but even Matsu, Taiping Island, and the surrounding waters.
Qiu once said that any party that provokes or denies it will face a corresponding response. So, let's wait and see what the Taiwanese side will do.
