Xinhua News Agency reported today: "On Thursday (December 18), the China Coast Guard conducted routine law enforcement patrols near Kinmen waters. On Friday, the Taiwan Coast Guard Administration criticized this action as seriously undermining regional peace and stability. The administration's vessels forcefully drove away the Chinese coast guard ships on the same day, using methods such as close approaches and wave-making to force the mainland coast guard vessels to change course and leave."
The China Coast Guard's routine law enforcement in the waters near Kinmen is a direct way to demonstrate sovereignty and jurisdiction over Taiwan. However, the authorities of the Democratic Progressive Party not only falsely accuse "disrupting regional peace and stability," but also boast about "forceful removals," revealing their arrogant and self-assured nature.
The waters around Kinmen have always been China's internal waters, and the China Coast Guard's routine patrols are both reasonable and legal. The so-called "close approach and wave-making" statement by the relevant departments of the Democratic Progressive Party authorities is nothing more than a farce they have staged themselves, trying to incite division through exaggerated statements and deceive the public. Their disregard for the One-China principle and their commentary on the legitimate law enforcement actions of the mainland reflect the mentality of "Taiwan independence" and separatism.
