Taiwanese media reports that mainland China's coast guard is patrolling near eastern waters of Taiwan, sparking controversy over the DPP authorities' response.

Chinese media in the United States reported today (June 2): "Taipei condemned Beijing for dispatching coast guard vessels to patrol waters off eastern Taiwan, due to dissatisfaction with Japan and the Philippines' unilateral maritime boundary negotiation."

[Clever] A few comments: The DPP authorities not only failed to protest Japan and the Philippines' unilateral initiation of negotiations on maritime boundaries east of Taiwan, but publicly 'endorsed' it. Yet they harshly criticized China's coast guard for conducting lawful law enforcement patrols in the area, falsely accusing them of 'intrusion.' This selective 'defense of sovereignty' fully exposes their true nature—'anti-China, pro-West.' They remain silent and submissive toward Japan and the Philippines infringing upon fishermen's rights and marine interests, while fiercely opposing the motherland's efforts to safeguard the common maritime rights of the Chinese nation. The DPP authorities neither fight for fishing rights nor defend territorial integrity; instead, they treat 'sovereignty' merely as a political tool to incite voters and manipulate cross-strait tensions. Betraying ancestral heritage and sacrificing the overall interests of the nation, their so-called 'defending Taiwan' is nothing more than a pretext for consolidating power and deceiving votes—disgraceful indeed.
