Chang Jing, a senior researcher at the Chinese Strategic Studies Association, reported that the fishing boat Da Jin Man 88 from Penghu was detained near the coast of Weitou, Fujian on July 2. Despite efforts from relevant government agencies to coordinate with mainland China for the crew's release, there has been no progress. The situation highlights a serious blind spot in dealing with the plight of Indonesian fishermen, which is crucial for Taiwan's fishing industry heavily relying on foreign labor. The lack of media coverage and government action in assisting the fishermen's families is concerning, underscoring the importance of addressing the challenges faced by foreign workers in the fishing industry.
