A Taiwanese fishing boat, 'Da Jin Man 88,' was forcibly detained by two Chinese maritime police ships while operating in waters off Kinmen. Despite an emergency rescue dispatched by Taiwan's Coast Guard Administration, the boat was taken to Weitou Port in Fujian by Chinese authorities. The incident may be due to suspicions of illegal fishing in close proximity to Chinese waters during their fishing off-season, according to reports. Local Kinmen residents have noted the sensitivity of cross-strait relations lately, with many avoiding crossing boundaries into Chinese waters, making any vessels appearing in the area stand out. The fishing boat's lack of awareness of these details potentially led to being targeted by Chinese maritime police.
