Penghu-registered fishing boat 'Da Jin Man 88' was operating in Kinmen waters last night when it was forcibly boarded and seized by the Chinese mainland coast guard and taken back to the mainland. Fisheries Agency Director Chang Chih-sheng emphasized that there are many overlapping operational areas between both sides, and the area in question is normally a common working zone for everyone. He urged mainland China to handle the issue pragmatically and hopes for the prompt release of 'Da Jin Man 88' and the safety of the crew. The incident occurred during a joint meeting review of the 'Marrakesh World Trade Organization Agreement Amendment Protocol' at the Legislative Yuan's Foreign Affairs and National Defense, and Economics Committees.
