Taiwan Coast Guard Firmly Expels Four China Patrol Vessels and Strongly Condemns Escalating Harassment Against Taiwan
Following the unilateral announcement by China’s Ministry of Transport regarding a so-called “Maritime Traffic Enforcement Operation,” four China government vessels — Haixun 06, Haixun 08, Haixun 09, and Donghai Jiu 113 — entered Taiwan’s Restricted Water approximately 30 nautical miles southwest of Eluanbi at 14:05 on June 7.
Taiwan Coast Guard Administration(TCGA) cutters, including the Kaohsiung, immediately conducted one-on-one parallel monitoring and initiated radio expulsion procedures. At 17:30, all four vessels were expelled beyond Taiwan’s Restricted Water approximately 33 nautical miles southeast of Eluanbi. Both sides’ vessels remain engaged in monitoring operations in the area.
During the expulsion operation, Haixun 06 claimed over radio that “both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China” and asserted that the vessels were conducting maritime law-enforcement operations in water under China’s jurisdiction.
TCGA cutter Kaohsiung immediately responded that China possesses no sovereign rights in water east of Taiwan, that the vessels had entered Taiwan’s water without authorization, and that their actions violated international law while undermining maritime order and security. TCGA further urged the vessels to alter course and depart immediately, emphasizing that peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait are critical to global economic stability and international supply chains.
TCGA stated that it has deployed five cutters — Kaohsiung, Tamsui, Ji’an, Changbin, and Hualien — as well as two 100-ton patrol vessels to conduct monitoring and response operations along the route.
TCGA strongly condemns China’s attempt to use ongoing regional developments as a pretext to create the false impression of jurisdiction over Taiwan’s surrounding water. TCGA will continue to take all necessary measures to safeguard national sovereignty and ensure maritime security.
