Taiwan says its sovereignty cannot be violated following the end of a China coast guard patrol near Taiwan’s eastern waters. According to Chinese state media, the patrol concluded after China inspected 198 passing vessels. It said China rectified “violations” involving three ships. Taiwan’s response emphasizes that any actions by China’s coast guard or other authorities in or around Taiwan-linked waters cannot be treated as acceptable interference with Taiwanese sovereignty. The reports present the patrol as a law-enforcement activity by China and as an encroachment concern by Taiwan. Both outlets describe the same stated operational details from the Chinese side—ending the patrol after inspections of 198 vessels and addressing issues connected to three ships. The situation highlights ongoing tensions around maritime activity in the region, with Taiwan asserting jurisdiction and China presenting its patrol as corrective action.
