Beijing sends new coastguard force into waters east of Taiwan

Beijing has deployed a new coastguard task force into waters east of Taiwan, marking the second such deployment in about a month. This follows recent diplomatic efforts by China, including urging the United States to be cautious regarding Taiwan and engaging in high-level talks with the Philippines over South China Sea tensions. The Chinese Coast Guard stated that the Xiushan ship formation has taken over from the Daishan group to conduct 'routine law enforcement patrols' in the area. These patrols include inspections, fisheries protection, and rescue missions aimed at maintaining navigational order and protecting the rights of Chinese fishermen, including those from Taiwan. The Coast Guard emphasized its commitment to strengthening patrols in waters under China's jurisdiction and defending national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights.
