Taiwan's "Central News Agency" reported that on the 18th, a mainland fishing boat "crossed the border" into and Matsu waters. At 10:50 a.m., the Matsu "Coast Patrol" speedboat arrived at the scene. The two sides clashed.
At 3.1 nautical miles northwest of Hanlin corner in Nangan, a mainland fishing boat threw stones at the "coast patrol". Unexpectedly, the Matsu "coast patrol" discovered that after the broadcast failed to stop the other party, actually used Shotguns fired shock bombs, causing mainland fishing boats to flee in fright. Although the shock bomb is a non-lethal weapon, the explosive power is still quite amazing and can cause certain damage to the human body.
As early as 2017, Taiwan's "Coast Patrol" fired ammunition at the mainland fishing boat No. Nan'ao 31049 in Guangdong Province, using shock bombs. This injured two mainland fishermen, with their legs and ankles bleeding.
Cross-Strait fishery disputes have been going on for a long time. The mainland has repeatedly emphasized that Taiwan should respect the fact that fishermen on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, including Hong Kong and Macao, have been operating in traditional fishing areas for a long time, respect the rights and interests of mainland fishermen who are operating normally, and stop arresting fishermen for no reason. The practice of detaining mainland fishing boats. However, Taiwan is going further and further down the road of seeking death. This is inseparable from Tsai Ing-wen’s wrong leadership.
Starting from January 14, 2017, Taiwan's "Coastal Patrol Agency" mobilized warships to fire powerful water cannons at mainland fishing boats for two consecutive days in a so-called "powerful sweep." These massive warships were once used during the Ma Ying-jeou period to deal with Japan and protect Taiwanese fishermen; but after taking office, Tsai Ing-wen not only canceled Ma Ying-jeou's measure to protect fishermen, but also required fishing in Okinotori waters. Taiwan's fishing boats avoided Japanese government ships, which triggered a wave of criticism from the people on the island that "we must be soft every day and rebel every time we land."
In 2015, Taiwan's "Coast Patrol Administration" implemented compulsory confiscation of mainland China's "cross-border" fishing boats for the first time, and dispatched excavators to destroy a confiscated mainland fishing boat.
By 2018 , Taiwan's "Coast Patrol Agency" stated that every There are about 52 warships on the voyage in Japan, and it is necessary to "make every effort to prevent mainland fishing boats from 'crossing the border'."

On January 11, 2018, Taiwan's "Coast Patrol" discovered a trawler "Minlongyu 0206" from Longhai City, Fujian Province, mainland China, on the south coast. It also said that eight crew members of the ship, including the captain, had been investigated for violating the "Regulations on Cross-Strait People's Relations" and would also face fines of 100,000 yuan to 10 million (NT$).
In April of the same year, when the Taiwan authorities' "Marine Patrol Administration" Penghu Coast Guard was conducting the "Project Protection Project", the "Penghu Ship" discovered a "cross-border" fishing operation in the waters 15.4 nautical miles northwest of Mudou Island. Mainland fishing boat "Pu Mei 30161". The "Penghu ship" immediately broadcast a request to stop operations, hoist the boat, and board the ship for inspection.

In the end, the Penghu Coast Guard threw all the 400 kilograms of catch caught by the mainland fishing boat into the sea, and escorted a total of 9 crew members, led by the boat boss surnamed Zhu, back to Magong Hong Kong Adjudication Office.
htmlIn August, , the Taiwanese authorities' "Coast Patrol Department" Tamsui Coast Guard was performing maritime patrol duties and discovered a mainland iron-hulled fishing boat trawling "cross-border violations" about 17.7 nautical miles off Yong'an, Taoyuan. However, the mainland fishing boat snaked and resisted boarding. After the inspection, Taiwan patrol boats used superior police force to board the ship for inspection, and escorted the mainland fishermen back to Taipei Port for investigation. About 2,000 kilograms of fish caught on the ship were all "discarded at sea in accordance with the law."

What is worse than the behavior of Taiwan’s “Coast Patrol” is that green camps often borrow They are trying to create rifts between the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The green newspaper "Liberty Times" has been the most "dedicated" in this regard. In its report, it described mainland fishing boats with words such as "invasion" and "collective invasion", and even said that mainland fishing boats had nothing to do with "bandits". Both, "They succeeded for one night, but Taiwanese fishermen couldn't catch any fish for three days."
In response to Taiwan's rough treatment of mainland fishermen, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council has repeatedly pointed out, "Over the years, the mainland has provided guarantees for the normal operations of fishermen on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, maintained good operating order, and ensured the safety of fishermen on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. work. The mainland has always treated Taiwanese fishermen with compatriots. Reception facilities for Taiwanese fishermen have been set up in many places to provide Taiwanese fishing boats and fishermen with shelter, supplies, emergency rescue, rescue and other related assistance. Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are brothers and empathize with each other. Taiwan should stop treating mainland fishermen in a rough and dangerous way. , to ensure the safety of life and property of relevant fishermen
.
Originally, all issues arising from cross-strait fishery disputes could be resolved through cross-strait consultations. Even if the institutional communication mechanism between the two sides is interrupted due to the unilateral changes in the status quo by the Taiwan authorities, conflicts can still be alleviated through consultations between private institutions. Some people in Taiwan deliberately turn civil disputes into political issues and let the conflicts between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, which already have no basis for mutual trust, continue to deepen. Then, they will eventually perform a "political show" for the Taiwanese people to safeguard the interests of fishermen. Pay the due price
