Amid rising concerns over maritime safety, the Fujian coast guard has ramped up routine patrols in waters near Kinmen, a move officials say aims to protect fisherfolk and maintain order in the bustling Xiamen-Kinmen area.
Spokesperson Zhu Anqing confirmed Tuesday’s patrol is part of ongoing efforts since March to strengthen enforcement and oversight. "We’re committed to safeguarding the rights of all Chinese fisherfolk, including those from the Taiwan region," Zhu stated, highlighting cross-strait collaboration.
With over 1,000 fishing vessels active in the area daily, the patrols focus on curbing illegal activities while ensuring smooth navigation—an essential step as regional trade and tourism continue to boom.
This move underscores Beijing’s emphasis on maritime security, blending law enforcement with efforts to stabilize cross-strait ties. For young travelers and professionals eyeing Asia’s coasts, it’s a reminder that safer seas mean brighter horizons.
