Taiwan — The Taiwanese Coast Guard observed the entry of four Chinese ships into Taiwan’s ‘restricted waters’.
The two ships are supporting the Chinese Coast Guard, and happened in the second day of Beijing’s launch of military drills.
According to Taiwanese authorities, this is the eighth time Chinese ships have entered Taiwan’s restricted waters this month.
“This is the eighth time this month Chinese coast guard vessels have sailed into the restricted waters,” said the Taiwanese Coast Guard.
The Taiwanese Coast Guard tried to warn the Coast Guard of the Republic of China, and the Yilan patrol vessel, pointing that the activities of Chinese ships in the Taiwan Strait severely undermine the peace and stability of their independence.
“China 548 vessel, this is the coast guard of the Republic of China, Yilan patrol vessel. Your action will severely undermine the peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits. It will increase the possibility of incidents and security risk. Please change your direction. If you decide to enter we will take action to repel you,” according to the Taiwanese Coast Guard.
But the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a disturbing statement threatening the Taiwan independence forces.
“Taiwan independence forces will be left with their heads broken and blood flowing after colliding against the great,” according to Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin.
Taiwan urges Beijing to immediately stop its unreasonable behavior.
