China Coast Guard patrols around Taiwan island

The China Coast Guard (CCG) conducted law enforcement patrols in the waters surrounding Taiwan island on Monday.

The patrols, conducted by CCG formations of vessels 2901, 1305, 1303 and 2102, are a practical action to lawfully enforce control over Taiwan island in accordance with the one-China principle.

On the same day, the Fujian Coast Guard also organized a formation of vessels to conduct comprehensive law enforcement patrols in the waters near the islands of Dongyin and Matsu, with the aim of testing its rapid response and emergency handling capabilities.

The Fujian Coast Guard patrols focused on exercises of verification and identification, boarding inspections, and control and expulsion operations.

The Dongyin and Matsu islands and their surrounding waters are an important fishing ground for fishermen from across the Taiwan Strait.
