A fishing boat from Penghu, Taiwan, the Da Jin Man 88, was seized by Chinese authorities after entering Chinese waters and fishing illegally. The boat and its five crew members were detained by Chinese maritime police but were all reported to be safe. The Taiwanese Coast Guard responded to the incident by sending three vessels to rescue the fishing boat, but retreated when faced with seven Chinese patrol ships to avoid escalating the situation. The Taiwanese Coast Guard has urged the Chinese authorities to handle the incident without political considerations and to release the boat and crew promptly. The tension between the two sides remains high as the seized boat remains in Chinese custody.
