Deputy Director of the National Security Bureau Huang Mingzhao stated that when fishermen go out to sea for fishing, the Coast Guard Bureau provides protection services, urging fishermen to try to avoid fishing in areas claimed by China. Meanwhile, due to a Chinese maritime police vessel recently detaining a fishing vessel from Penghu, tensions have heightened. Huang Mingzhao's comments were made during a meeting in response to questions from reporters regarding the possibility of the government arming fishermen for protection.
