Taiwanese Fishing Boat Seized for Illegal Fishing in China’s Waters

Reported 12 months ago

The Taiwanese fishing boat 'Da Jin Man 88' was seized by Chinese maritime authorities for illegally fishing in Chinese waters near Kinmen. The boat, along with its crew of 5, was taken to Fujian, China, prompting a standoff between Taiwanese and Chinese patrol boats. This is not the first incident of Taiwanese fishing boats being seized during China's fishing moratorium, with a total of 3 cases involving 17 fishing boats. The seized boats are typically released after paying fines, but the fate of the crew and boat remains uncertain in this case.
