A high-ranking coast guard official dismissed claims of cognitive warfare by the media regarding the incident involving the Penghu fishing boat 'Da Jin Man 88,' which was taken back to a Chinese fishing port for violating China's off-season fishing regulations. Despite media speculation of retaliation against President Lai Ching-te, the coast guard immediately dispatched vessels for rescue and demanded the release of the fishing boat. The official also clarified that such incidents were not exclusive to Lai's presidency, citing previous cases of fishing boats trespassing. This recent confrontation was part of a series of maritime disputes, raising concerns internationally.
