On April 29, the China Coast Guard released a video, which showed such a picture - the five-star red flag and Kinmen Island are in the same frame.
What does this picture mean? We can find a keyword from the text message released by the China Coast Guard this time, "normalized law enforcement inspections."
Master Tan noticed that this is the third time that the China Coast Guard has released relevant information on law enforcement patrols in the waters near Kinmen.
Among the information released by the Coast Guard this time, one sentence is particularly eye-catching -
"On April 29, the Fujian Coast Guard carried out regular law enforcement inspections in the waters near Kinmen in accordance with the law. Since April, the Fujian Coast Guard has organized ship formations Continue to strengthen law enforcement inspections in the waters near Kinmen.”
Prior to this, the announcement on February 18 said:
“Fujian Coast Guard will strengthen maritime law enforcement forces and carry out regular law enforcement and inspection operations in Xiamen and Jinmen waters. Maintain the order of operations in the relevant sea areas and safeguard the safety of fishermen’s lives and property.”
The announcement on March 15 said:
“The Fujian Coast Guard will carry out law enforcement inspections in the waters near Kinmen in accordance with the law, including in Taiwan. China's fishermen have legitimate rights and interests and the safety of their lives and property. The China Coast Guard will continue to strengthen law enforcement inspections. "
Compared with the content of the previous two announcements, this is the first time that the China Coast Guard has stated in public information that China's maritime law enforcement. The force has implemented regular law enforcement patrols in the waters near Kinmen.
Master Tan noticed that the word "strengthen" has appeared three times in a row.
In other words, with the continuous strengthening of maritime law enforcement by the Fujian Coast Guard, the realization of normalized law enforcement inspections is also an inevitable result.
In the live video released by the Coast Guard, there are also many shots that can show what normalization is.
We can clearly see that in the picture there are at least 4 Coast Guard ships participating in this law enforcement patrol operation, and this is the "ship formation" mentioned in the Coast Guard announcement. A very noteworthy detail in the
video is that among the coast guard ships participating in regular law enforcement patrols in the waters near Kinmen this month, there is a new face - the Chinese coast guard ship with hull number 14603.
A professional who has been paying attention to the maritime law enforcement of the China Coast Guard for a long time told Mr. Tan that the hull numbers of China Coast Guard ships are actually very particular. The hull numbers of coast guard ships affiliated to the bureaus directly under the China Coast Guard are four digits, and The coast numbers of coast guard vessels affiliated to provincial coast guard bureaus are five digits.
On this basis, the hull number coding of coast guard bureaus in different provinces also differs.
Take the Fujian Coast Guard as an example. All coast guard vessels affiliated to the Fujian Coast Guard will start with the "14" code.
In other words, the coast guard ships affiliated with the Fujian Coast Guard are gradually becoming an important force responsible for law enforcement and patrol tasks in Kinmen waters.
From this perspective, the Coast Guard Bureau at the "doorstep" is responsible for matters at the "doorstep", which is also an important manifestation of the normalization of law enforcement patrols in Kinmen waters in the future.
According to Tan Zhu’s understanding, like many operations in February and March, this month the Fujian Coast Guard ship also sailed into the so-called “prohibited and restricted waters” delineated by the Taiwan authorities while performing maritime law enforcement inspections.
It can be said that as the law enforcement vessels of the Fujian Coast Guard appear more and more "daily" in the waters near Kinmen, the so-called "prohibited and restricted waters" concocted by the Taiwan authorities are self-defeating.
In addition, the first-line footage released by the Coast Guard this time also includes many shots of how our Coast Guard personnel responded to provocations from vessels of the so-called "Coast Patrol Agency" of the Taiwan authorities. In the
video, as our Coast Guard ships continue to approach Kinmen Island, ships from Taiwan’s so-called “Coast Patrol Office” gradually come closer, trying to interfere with the law enforcement and patrol operations of our Coast Guard ships.
In response, our Coast Guard law enforcement officers used Mandarin and Hokkien to shout to Taiwan's so-called "Coast Patrol Department" ships in the radio frequency band common to ships at sea:
"pp-10083, pp-10083, your ship's actions have been serious." If it threatens my navigation safety, please regulate the navigation, otherwise all consequences will be borne by your ship."
At the same time, the sea surveillance system equipped on our coast guard ships also immediately locked the Taiwan ship, and its position, speed, course and other information were immediately grasped by us.
From the perspective of drone aerial photography We can see that after knowing that they could not get any benefits, Taiwan's so-called "Coast Patrol Agency" ships had no choice but to turn around and sail towards Kinmen Island.
Obviously, the initiative in the waters near Kinmen has been completely controlled. In the hands of the Fujian Coast Guard.
More importantly, the announcement issued by the Coast Guard also said:
"Effectively guaranteeing normal navigation and operating order in the Xiamen-Jinjiang waters." "
To understand this sentence, we might as well start with this set of cross-strait "mini three links" data -
Since the "mini three links" passenger route that was suspended for nearly three years was resumed on January 7 last year, this passenger route from Xiamen The number of round-trip flights on the passenger route to Kinmen has continued to increase, and its daily frequency has increased from 2 flights per day in the early days of resumption to 16 flights. As of April 5, this "mini three links" has been operating for more than a year. "The route has safely operated 5,487 flights, carrying more than 1.002 million passengers.
Liu Kuangyu, an expert on Taiwan issues, believes that the popularity of the "mini three links" route is like a mirror, which to a large extent reflects the desire of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to strengthen exchanges. The willingness to interact and promote cross-strait integration and development.
However, if the exchanges between the two sides only stay at this stage, it will not be enough.
On April 28, Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said at a press conference that the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are not satisfied with each other. The call for the full resumption of cross-strait air and sea direct flights is very strong. We hope that Taiwan will fully consider the demands of the people and shipping companies on both sides of the strait and resume direct cross-strait sea passenger flights as soon as possible.
Today, the Fujian Coast Guard is conducting regular law enforcement inspections. , to ensure the safety of navigation in the waters near Kinmen, on the basis of protecting the interests of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, it further clears the way for the subsequent direct navigation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and has made preliminary preparations.
can only understand these. Only by looking at the details can we see the significance of the Chinese Coast Guard’s regular patrols in Kinmen waters
