According to CtiTV, a mainland Chinese man surnamed Ruan who drove a speedboat from Fuzhou to Taiwan to 'seek freedom' has been found to have a background in the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy. The Shilin District Prosecutors Office has launched an investigation into the case. Despite criticism of delayed response by the Coast Guard, the Mainland Affairs Council Chairperson has stated that the misjudgment occurred due to confusion with a Taiwanese fishing boat returning to port and revealed Ruan's past military experience. The incident has triggered probes by national security agencies, and a press conference by the Coast Guard is scheduled for 2:30 pm. Prime Minister Su Tseng-chang has pledged a thorough investigation and reassurance of enforcement resources for national security defense. Further updates will be provided by CtiTV as the situation unfolds.
