🚨 The Fujian Coast Guard conducted routine patrols near Kinmen on January 24, 2026, as part of intensified maritime law enforcement efforts this year. The move aims to ensure safety and order in the Xiamen-Kinmen maritime area, a hotspot for cross-strait navigation and fishing activities.
🛥️ Spokesperson Zhu Anqing of the China Coast Guard’s East China Sea Bureau confirmed that patrols have been increased since early 2026 to strengthen oversight and protect fishermen—including those from the Taiwan region. "These measures safeguard lives, property, and lawful rights while maintaining operational order," Zhu stated.
🌊 Analysts note the patrols reflect ongoing efforts to balance regional security with economic activities in the Taiwan Strait. No incidents were reported during the latest operation.
