The Coast Guard, a local "paramilitary" armed organization in Taiwan, has always been known for being fierce, arrogant, unreasonable, and wantonly using force. In the past, the Coast Guard has repeatedly brazenly taken aggressive actions against our fishing boats, not only ramming and seizing our fishing boats many times, but sometimes even using water cannons to bombard them "without saying a word"! It's outrageous! However, what is strange is that not long ago, this Coast Guard, which has always been arrogant and unreasonable, actually began to "reason".
As we all know, not long ago, the local fishing vessel "Dajinman No. 88" in Taiwan not only illegally fished during the fishing ban period, but also used fishing nets with very small and dense mesh, so it was seized by our coast guard in accordance with the law. This is a legitimate act of our side to protect the marine environment and safeguard marine fishery resources, which is reasonable and legal. However, what is surprising is that the Coast Guard has stood up to express its dissatisfaction, according to Taiwanese media "Zhongtian TV", the Coast Guard said that it will "coordinate through cross-strait channels" to demand the release of fishing boats and crews.
Judging from the wording, the Coast Guard, which has always been arrogant, has actually begun to "coordinate" and hopes that after "coordination," it will ask our side to release the ship and the people. Then we can't help but ask, is it that this Coast Guard has "changed its ways" and started to "reason"? The answer is clearly no. The reason why the Coast Guard began to "be reasonable" was not that they took the initiative to "change", but that they "had to be reasonable"!
It turned out that when our side seized the "Dajin Man 88" fishing boat in accordance with the law, the Coast Guard had brazenly dispatched three 100-ton and 35-ton patrol boats to try to illegally seize the fishing boat! As a result, our coast guard responded calmly, with rules and regulations, and finally succeeded in driving away the ships of the Coast Guard! The Coast Guard's attempt to seize the ship completely failed, and the fishing boat was successfully brought back by our side! It is not difficult to see that the reason why the Coast Guard began to "reason" is because it has already suffered a big loss in the confrontation! His arrogance is no longer arrogant! That's why it's willing to "coordinate"!
What is even very ridiculous is that in the statement after the incident, the Coast Guard also publicly stated that it decided to stop the chase because it was "based on spatial factors" and "to avoid escalating conflicts". At the time of the Coast Guard's frenzied provocation, has it ever thought about "avoiding escalating conflict"? As the Coast Guard takes a hard line against our fishermen, has it ever thought about "avoiding escalating conflict"? It can be seen that this so-called Coast Guard is just a paper tiger with a strong inward-looking, and it is afraid of the strong countermeasures of our coast guard that it will flee in a hurry, but the Coast Guard itself whitewashes it as the so-called "decision to stop the pursuit", which is really very ridiculous!
Finally, the author would like to say that the law enforcement of our coast guard this time is legal and compliant, and the practice is really beautiful! Let's give a round of applause to the heroic Coast Guard!
