In the political center on June 11, 2024, at 6:51 am, a Chinese speedboat incident occurred at Tamsui River, where a Chinese man surnamed Ruan was arrested by Coast Guard personnel at the Fisherman's Wharf. The Coast Guard admitted today that despite initially detecting and monitoring the speedboat on radar, there was a 30-minute oversight due to a radar operator mistaking the boat for a returning fishing vessel, leading to disciplinary actions against ten personnel. Images of the trajectory of the 'Hung Chin' speedboat that breached the Tamsui River were subsequently exposed. After a performance review meeting, the Coast Guard raised the disciplinary level for the first time for the intrusion by Chinese stowaways into the Tamsui River area in Taiwan. The Coast Guard detailed that despite detecting a red dot 12 nautical miles away on radar, they missed intercepting the boat twice as it approached Tamsui River, citing lack of experience in handling such situations and a need for improved identification and communication mechanisms in the future.
