Beijing, 10 Nov (Taiwan) -- The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference this morning, and Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, presided over the press conference.
Taiwan TVBS reporter: Qiu Taisan, chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, pointed out that the "sand theft" behavior of the mainland sand pumping vessel in the waters of Kinmen Peng has seriously damaged marine resources. Thank you.
Zhu Fenglian: The Taiwan side's seizure of mainland vessels in the name of the so-called "prohibition of waters and restriction of waters" and even the use of dangerous and brutal measures against the crew of the mainland are entirely aimed at creating incidents and are irresponsible and dangerous acts, and we resolutely oppose them. In fact, we attach great importance to the problem of illegal extraction of sea sand, and the relevant departments have been actively taking a series of measures such as strengthening shoreline inspections and carrying out special rectification to prevent, rectify and investigate.
