On July 3, 2024, Taiwanese representative, Lin Chia-lung, urged China to release the fishing boat 'Taijinman 88' and its crew promptly after being detained by Chinese coastguard while operating in Chinese waters near Kinmen during the fishing off-season. Lin emphasized that communication channels between Taiwan and China, including the Mainland Affairs Council and Fisheries Agency, will be utilized to resolve the issue, and Taiwan's Coast Guard Administration will continue monitoring the situation to ensure the safety of Taiwanese fishermen amidst increased Chinese coastguard activities in neighboring waters. This incident has raised concerns about protecting Taiwan's fishing operations, prompting increased patrols by the Coast Guard Administration and advising fishermen to remain vigilant to prevent similar incidents.
