Chinese coast guard vessels intrude into restricted waters in outlying islands

Chinese coast guard vessels intrude into restricted waters in outlying islands

2024-05-24

Friday was the second day of Chinese military exercises around Taiwan. On Day 1 on Thursday, several Chinese coast guard vessels were spotted sailing in restricted waters near Taiwan’s outlying islands of Dongyin and Wuqiu. The same events unfolded on Friday morning. The Taiwan Coast Guard employed the same approach, warning the intruders and demanding that they leave while documenting the entire incident.

Voice of officer
Coast Guard Administration
You have entered restricted waters near Wuqiu, in a severe affront to regional peace and stability that affects maritime safety and order. Change course immediately and sail away.

Officer
Coast Guard Administration
Change direction and leave our restricted waters at once, or we will be forced to take action.

The Chinese vessels continued with their incursion, coming as close as 300 meters from the Taiwan Coast Guard vessels. The standoff lasted for an hour until the intruders left. With cross-strait tensions on the rise, the Coast Guard Administration says it will continue to monitor any movements of China’s coast guard vessels. Navigation notices and updates will be issued to ensure that Taiwan’s waters remain safe.

突襲式圍台軍演! 中國海警船又越界 海巡警告驅離

2024-05-24

共軍接連兩天,突襲式環台軍演,週四就在馬祖東引和金門烏坵我國的限制水域,發現多艘中國海警船,週五上午又故技重施,海巡人員全程蒐證,並進行驅離行動。

[[聲音來源: 海巡署人員]]
“你已進入烏坵禁限制水域,嚴重破壞區域和平穩定,影響海上航行安全及交通秩序,請立即轉向航離。”

[[海巡署人員]]
“請立即轉向,盡速離開我方限制水域,否則我船將採取必要之行動。”

面對嚴厲警告,中國海警船還是步步進逼,雙方一度距離不到三百公尺,就這樣在海上對峙僵持了一個小時,最後海警船才離開烏坵鄰近海域。隨著兩岸情勢升溫,海巡署表示,會持續掌握中國海警船動向,適時發布航船公告,來維護我國的船行安全。
