On the morning of July 3, 2024, a Penghu fishing boat was taken away by Chinese coast guard, prompting a press conference by the coast guard and related agencies. The fishing boat 'Da Jin Man 88' was suspected of crossing into Chinese waters while operating in waters off Kinmen, leading to being intercepted by two Chinese coast guard ships and taken back to China. The Fisheries Agency clarified that the area is a joint operation zone for fishermen from both sides, with China having fishing restrictions from May to August that should be avoided. Efforts are being made to secure the release of the boat and crew through diplomatic channels, emphasizing the need for a practical resolution and mutual respect for fishing rights.
