Taiwan Television News website, June 10, 2024, reported the first appearance of a Chinese illegal immigrant at the mouth of the Tamsui River, with our coast guard only locking in at 6 nautical miles away. Guan Bi-ling, chairperson of the Mainland Affairs Council, admitted a failure in personnel led to a 'complete lapse' in this incident. The 60-year-old Chinese man named Ruan, previously a navy ship captain, claimed he fled to Taiwan for political asylum and freedom due to anti-Chinese government statements on WeChat. Guan speculated his genuineness citing his manner and past experiences, suggesting the National Security System investigate further. This incident differs from previous cases and might be a test, as Ruan is more sophisticated and experienced, unlike others hastily recruited by China in the past.
