On July 3, 2024, at 3:08 am, the Penghu fishing boat 'Da Jin Man 88' was forcibly inspected and seized by the mainland Chinese Coast Guard and taken to Weitou Port in Fujian. Psychiatrist Shin Cheng-nan, who often comments on current events on Facebook, believes this is an unwarranted disaster. He criticizes Lai Ching-te for joyfully discussing 'quasi-Taiwan independence' remarks, saying it offers no substantial help for cross-strait relations or Taiwan's future, leaving fishermen to foot the political bill. Shin called it a 'disaster for no reason' as it has put Penghu fishermen in danger. The incident raises questions about Taiwan fisherman's fishing territory and its relationship with mainland China's waters, questioning whether this arrest was merely a boundary encroachment or a deliberate political statement by mainland China. Shin also criticized Lai Ching-te's recent remarks on 'two non-subordinate states' as off-topic and potentially provocative, arguing that such rhetoric only worsens relations with the mainland and endangers Taiwan's fishermen.
