Taiwan Coast Guard Hoses Chinese Fishing Boat Off Dongsha
The coast guard used water cannon and tow operations after the Jin Sha refused repeated warnings, while 35 hot meals were given to its crew.
- On Thursday, the Taiwan Coast Guard Administration expelled two Chinese fishing boats from restricted waters near Dongsha Island after the Jin Sha refused orders to depart.
- Incursions by Chinese vessels in Taiwan-controlled waters have intensified recently, threatening maritime order and ecosystems around Dongsha, which is part of two island groups Taiwan controls.
- The 4,000-tonne patrol vessel Yunlin issued radio warnings before firing water cannons from 660 feet away, then approached the Jin Sha to spray the boat for 90 seconds.
- When the Jin Sha lost power during departure, the Yunlin provided 35 hot meals to the crew and towed the boat out of restricted waters, transferring it to the Chinese-flagged Hai Yang Shi You 681 on Friday.
- Frequent standoffs this year, including a May confrontation with the 5,500-ton Chinese coast guard ship CCG-3501, demonstrate persistent challenges the CGA faces in safeguarding Taiwan's maritime borders.
