Taiwanese legislator Yang Yao criticized the neglect of fishermen's safety by the administration after a fishing vessel from Penghu, 'Da Jin Man 88,' was detained by Chinese maritime authorities for allegedly crossing into forbidden waters while operating near Kinmen. Yang Yao urged the central government to negotiate with China for the prompt release of the vessel and crew, pointing out conflicting statements from the Coast Guard and Fisheries Agency regarding the boundary of the operation area. He emphasized the importance of clarifying fishing operation territories to ensure fishermen's safety and prevent such incidents from threatening the lives and properties of local residents.
