A fishing boat from Penghu, Taiwan, named 'Da Jin Man 88,' was forcefully taken back to Jinjiang Weitou Port by a Chinese coast guard ship. Despite Taiwan Coast Guard sending three patrol boats for assistance, they were surrounded and blocked by seven Chinese coast guard ships. DPP legislator Yang Yao criticized the government for disregarding the safety of fishermen and urged them to negotiate for the release of the boat and crew. This incident highlights the lack of consensus between Taiwan and China in shared fishing areas, with fishermen feeling threatened and expressing frustration towards the government's handling of the situation.
