In this handout photograph provided by Taiwan Coast Guard Administration, Taiwanese coast guards inspect a vessel that capsized during a chase off the coast of Kinmen archipelago in Taiwan, Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2024. The unnamed vessel had been sailing about one nautical mile off the coast of an islet of Kinmen island and was trespassing, said Taiwan’s Coast Guard Administration. Four fishermen fell into the water and two survived and are in “good shape,” while resuscitation efforts on the other two failed, the vice director of the Coast Guard in Kinmen, Chen Jien-wen, told a local TV channel.

จีนประณามเดือด! – Beijing “strongly condemned” the incident, saying it “seriously hurt the feelings of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait”. Kinmen lies just 3km away from China’s south-eastern coast, placing it on the frontline of tensions between China and Taiwan. China sees self-ruled Taiwan as a breakaway province that will, eventually, be part of the country, and has not ruled out the use of force to achieve this. (Taiwan Coast Guard Administration)

จีนประณามเดือด! – In recent years, Kinmen residents have reported seeing an increased presence of Chinese dredging vessels in its vicinity. The group of islands has a population of about 180,000 and is located 187km from Taiwan’s main island. /dimsumdaily/
