Since the "February 14 vicious collision incident", mainland coast guard ships have carried out regular patrol law enforcement in the waters near Kinmen, and this regular patrol law enforcement continued until the end of March 13.
After 46 days, on April 29, the mainland coast guard once again sent a number of coast guard ships into the waters near Kinmen to carry out regular patrol law enforcement, and the coast guard ships also included 14603, 14608, and 14609 ships. This cruise is relatively strong, and it is very close to the main island of Kinmen. Judging by the photographs, you can already clearly see the buildings on the island.
It is worth mentioning that in the past, when mainland coast guard ships patrolled the waters near Kinmen on a regular basis, the coast guard followed the mainland coast guard ships far away and did not dare to approach.
But this time it was different, the Coast Guard's PP-10083 ship was directly in front of the mainland coast guard ship, and the coast guard ship was not allowed to continue to move forward and approach Kinmen. Although the mainland coast guard has not inspected the waters near Kinmen for more than a month, this does not mean that the coast guard will be able to stand in the way when we inspect the waters near Kinmen again.
In this regard, the mainland coast guard directly shouted in Mandarin and Cantonese: PP-10083, please pay attention to your ship's behavior, which has seriously threatened the safety of our navigation, please sail safely in accordance with the regulations, otherwise any consequences caused will be borne by your ship.
Fu Laiqing's visit to the mainland brought good news to Matsu
At present, cross-strait relations are becoming more and more tense because of the "14 February vicious ship collision incident," and Lai Qingde's pro-US and anti-mainland behavior has also become more and more numerous. In such a situation, the tight strings between the two sides of the strait could break at any time. In order to avoid military reunification, not only former Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou visited the mainland, but even Fu Laiqing, chief of the Kuomintang "Legislative Yuan" caucus, led 16 party "legislators" to visit the mainland.
During her visit to the mainland, Fu Lai-hing clearly expressed her stance, that is, she did not agree with the current attitude of the DPP toward the mainland. In addition, Fu Laiqing also expressed the hope of reconnecting the mainland with Taiwan and resuming cross-strait exchanges. Although the Kuomintang is pro-US and mainland, compared with the DPP's "open independence," the Kuomintang belongs to "hidden independence." However, as long as cross-strait exchanges can be promoted and Taiwanese people can have more contact with the mainland, the DPP's plan to brainwash the "Taiwan independence" concept of Taiwan youths can be declared bankrupt, and this will be very conducive to the mainland's implementation of the peace reunification plan.
However, since the "February 14 Incident" has not yet been resolved, the mainland has only opened a tourist route from the mainland to Matsu, and as for Kinmen, when will the "February 14 Incident" be resolved, and when will the tourist route from the mainland to Kinmen be opened.
Regarding the opening of the mainland and Matsu tourist routes, the Matsu Lianjiang County Government said at the first time: Matsu has been waiting for a long time for the opening of Matsu tourism, and the industry operators are also looking forward to it, hoping that the Taiwan authorities can respond in a friendly manner.
Kuomintang "legislator" Hsu Yu-zhen responded: With such great goodwill from the mainland, the "Mainland Affairs Council" should also act quickly, and the study committee should lift the ban on Taiwan people from traveling to the mainland in June, resume cross-strait exchanges, and let this farce end as soon as possible.
The "February 14 incident" must be resolved as soon as possible, and Lai Qingde's appointment will only be more troublesome
So far, the Taiwan side has not given a satisfactory answer to the "14 February vicious collision incident," let alone a satisfactory answer; since the last 15 rounds of closed-door talks broke up unhappily, the Taiwan side has not mentioned this matter again, and it seems that the story has been turned over. The Taiwan side wants to make this matter silent through "silence" until it is forgotten by everyone.
But you have to know one thing, the bodies of the two fishermen who died are still in Taiwan, and it is still unknown when the families will be able to retrieve the remains. Therefore, the Taiwan side must give a satisfactory answer to this matter, and it is impossible to turn the page on this matter by relying on "silence" alone.
Although the mainland has not continued to carry out regular patrols and law enforcement in the waters near Kinmen since 13 March, this does not mean that the mainland has tacitly turned the page on this matter, and it is hoped that the Taiwan authorities will not have a wrong understanding. Whether it is the current Tsai Ing-wen administration or the Lai Qingde administration, which will take office on May 20, the most important thing is to resolve the "February 14 vicious ship collision incident" as soon as possible and give a satisfactory answer to the victims and their families.
However, judging from Lai Qingde's attitude, if this matter drags on until he takes office, it is estimated that it will be more difficult to solve. Judging from the list of important posts in Taiwan that was made public some time ago, Guan Biling is still the chairman of the "Maritime Affairs Commission," which means that Lai Qingde is satisfied with Guan Biling's handling of the "February 14 incident," and delays and does not deal with the relevant personnel of the Coast Guard involved.
As the "golden grandson of Taiwan independence," Lai Ching-te will not only not deal with the "14 February incident" after taking office, but may also exacerbate cross-strait contradictions, so that the Taiwan military will end up and work with the Coast Guard to target mainland fishing boats, and the personal safety of mainland fishermen will be even less guaranteed. And this time, the mainland coast guard ships launched another patrol, to a large extent, to deter Lai Qingde and the coast guard, and tell them the mainland's attitude.
