Due to historical reasons, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have been separated for a long time. After the Taiwan authorities signed the "US-Taiwan Defense Treaty" with the United States, the United States has drawn an invisible dividing line in Taiwan Strait , namely the so-called "middle line of the strait" by the "Taiwan independence elements", but the mainland has never recognized this statement. During the easing period of cross-strait relations, the two sides also reached a tacit understanding on the issue of "middle-line in the Strait", but after Tsai Ing-wen took office, the DPP authorities continued to provoke cross-strait confrontation, and the "middle-line in the Strait" became an excuse for him to forcibly seize mainland fishermen.

Not long ago, a mainland fishing boat went from Xiangzhi Port, Fujian to Taichung Port to fish 40 nautical miles west of . After receiving the news, the "Taichung Coast Guard Team" immediately chased the fishing boat. During this period, there were many collisions. In the end, the "Court Guard Team" forced aboard the mainland fishing boat to conduct a search, and all the 3 tons of fish caught by mainland fishermen were returned to the sea, and 14 crew members were forcibly seized.

According to the "Taichung Coast Guard Team", this mainland fishing boat is suspected of "illegal fishing across the border". At the time of the incident, the "Taichung Coast Patrol Team" had called out to mainland fishing boats, demanding that they stop the ship for inspection. But mainland fishing boats not only did not mean to stop the boat, but instead tried to escape by snakes. The "Coast Guard Team" had no choice but to take forced measures. The Taichung Coast Guard Team also stated that due to the better weather, mainland fishing boats often wait for opportunities to "cross the border" to catch fish in the central waters. The Taiwan Coast Guard Bureau once asked fleets of various sea areas to deploy forward.

Taiwan's accusations are purely nonsense. First of all, the mainland and Taiwan belong to the same China, and mainland fishing boats are reasonable and legal to fish here, so how can there be a saying of "crossing the boundaries". Furthermore, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have never held fishery negotiations. What power does the Taiwan authorities have to unilaterally divide the scope and treat mainland fishing boats roughly? What's more, this situation is not the first time.

In January this year, the mainland fishing boat "Minjin Fishing 05798" carried out normal fishing activities in the waters of Huayu, Penghu. After the Taiwan authorities discovered it, they immediately issued a warning to the fishing boat and ordered it to stop the ship for inspection. After the mainland fishing boat refused, the "Penghu Sea Patrol Team" directly stopped the fishing boat and prepared to force board and search. In order to defend themselves, the fishermen on the boat picked up the broom and resisted, but the "Penghu Sea Guard Team" threatened to "fire immediately". In the end, the "Sea Guard Team" violently controlled the fishing boat, threw the 4,000 kilograms of scallion fish that mainland fishermen had worked hard to capture back to the sea, and seized 14 crew members. In July, such incidents occurred again, and five mainland fishermen were forcibly detained.

The reason why the Taiwan authorities repeatedly seized mainland ships on the grounds of "crossing the boundaries" is mainly to create the illusion of "one China and one Taiwan" in the international community through "law enforcement" and build momentum for "independence". Regarding the Taiwan authorities' thoughts, I have responded solemnly that the Taiwan authorities' rough treatment of mainland fishermen is to create trouble. Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are brothers of flesh and blood. The mainland urges the Taiwan authorities to respect the fact that fishermen on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have long been operating in traditional fishing areas, ensure the safety of their lives and property, and immediately stop treating them in dangerous ways.

In order to maintain cross-strait relations and take care of Taiwanese compatriots, the mainland has set up many Taiwanese fishermen reception offices in coastal areas to provide them with subsidies, rescue, etc. In contrast, what the Taiwan authorities have done is simply "outrageous". Even so, the mainland still chose to solve the problem through communication and did not take direct measures. It can be said that the mainland has released its greatest kindness. But the Taiwan authorities must also understand that as the gap in strength between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait continues to widen, unreasonable provocation will not only not help the development of cross-strait relations, but will instead wipe out the only remaining goodwill in the mainland and make cross-strait relations in an unpredictable danger.

The mainland’s position on the Taiwan issue is consistent and clear. We have the determination and ability to safeguard the interests of the people. If the Taiwan authorities continue to use any means to oppress the mainland’s people at will in order to "seek independence", the mainland will not stand idly by.
