China's Fujian coast guard has intensified maritime patrols near Kinmen since September, deploying fleet formations to ensure safety and order in the bustling Xiamen-Kinmen waters. 🌊 The move aims to strengthen law enforcement during peak fishing seasons, safeguarding both livelihoods and navigation in the area.
"Our patrols enhance maritime controls and protect the rights of all Chinese fishermen, including those from the Taiwan region," said Zhu Anqing, spokesperson for the China Coast Guard's East China Sea Bureau. The measures also focus on preventing disruptions to commercial and fishing activities in the Taiwan Strait—a vital corridor for regional trade.
With over 1,000 fishing vessels operating in the area monthly, the patrols highlight cross-strait efforts to maintain stability. 🎣⚖️ Residents of Taiwan involved in the fisheries sector have welcomed the initiative, citing improved safety during high-traffic periods.
