On July 2, 2024, a 76.68-ton fishing boat named 'Da Jin Man 88' from Penghu was detained by seven Chinese coast guard vessels near Kinmen and taken to Quanzhou in Fujian province for investigation, despite efforts by Taiwanese coast guard ships to intervene. The Taiwanese Coast Guard Administration urges China to release the detained boat and its crew promptly, emphasizing the potential for damage to cross-strait relations due to political maneuvers. This incident adds to recent escalations in tensions between Taiwan and China, exemplified by similar past confrontations and calls for the U.S. to strengthen Taiwan's defense capabilities and encourage peaceful dialogues to prevent conflicts.
