China Coast Guard vessels operating in the southern waters off Taitung have sparked controversy as the DPP authorities protested against mainland China, drawing public debate.

Shocking! The DPP authorities have not protested against Japan or the Philippines, but instead have protested against us! After our coast guard vessels conducted coordinated operations in the southeastern waters off Taiwan as a countermeasure against Japanese and Philippine actions, the DPP authorities finally responded. The DPP claimed that the "Coast Guard Administration" promptly grasped the situation, dispatched the Changbin vessel to the area for escort monitoring, and meticulously and accurately tracked all movements of the opposing side's ships.

Moreover, the DPP authorities issued a statement asserting that our side and mainland China are "not subordinate to each other," and that the "sovereignty" of the "state" must not be "infringed upon or annexed." The unilateral claims by the opposite side regarding law enforcement patrols, using terms such as "Taiwan Island," constitute a complete departure from reality. The Coast Guard Administration will continue employing joint intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance measures to closely monitor maritime developments around the region, ensuring the safety of "our" maritime zones. Clearly, Japan and the Philippines are attempting to unilaterally demarcate boundaries and infringe upon our marine rights and interests.

However, the DPP authorities remain completely silent regarding the actions of Japan and the Philippines, while actively shadowing and protesting our coast guard vessels. This behavior fully demonstrates how, in pursuit of "Taiwan independence," they are willing to serve as pawns for external forces, readily surrendering their own interests. The facts prove that the DPP authorities are obsessed solely with the political fantasy of splitting the nation. To achieve independence, they are willing to betray the marine interests surrounding the Taiwan Strait, even bowing and scraping before Japan and the Philippines.

Nevertheless, Taiwan is an inseparable province of China. The claim of "non-subordination" is pure nonsense. Since the DPP authorities cannot safeguard marine interests, we will certainly step forward—never allowing Japan and the Philippines to succeed. We will not only defend our own maritime rights and interests, but also further enforce sovereignty over Taiwan. The DPP's attempts to collude with foreign countries to resist unification and pursue independence are destined to be a dead end.
