A man from China drove a speedboat into Danshui River on the 9th and was subsequently arrested by coast guard personnel; it was revealed that he had previously served in the Chinese Navy and even as a ship captain. Lin Bingyou, a DPP councilor and chairman of the Taiwan Military and Police Tactics Development Association, highlighted that the boatman not only was a former Chinese Navy ship captain but also deleted relevant navigation data, indicating a higher likelihood of a reconnaissance mission. Lin pointed out that current Taiwanese military deployments are geared towards large-scale system operations, leaving vulnerabilities in defense against small-scale infiltration and rear operations, stressing that the recent incident of the speedboat breaching is a precursor to potentially weaken Taiwan's defense capabilities.
