Chinese Coast Guard Repeatedly Harasses Kinmen Water Ahead of Dragon Boat Festival Holiday；Taiwan Coast Guard Detects Intrusions Early and Responds Decisively with Immediate Expulsion
As the Dragon Boat Festival holiday approaches, Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) vessels once again intruded into water surrounding Kinmen. In an apparent attempt to conceal their movements, the vessels deliberately switched off their Automatic Identification System (AIS) transmissions while approaching Taiwan’s restricted water. Nevertheless, the Taiwan Coast Guard Administration (TCGA) successfully detected their activities and immediately deployed patrol vessels to conduct parallel monitoring and response operations, ultimately driving the vessels from the area.

At approximately 1400 on June 18, the TCGA’s 12th Patrol Area under the Kinmen-Matsu-Penghu Branch detected a formation of Chinese Coast Guard vessels through its round-the-clock intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance network. At 1500 , four Chinese Coast Guard vessels—14606, 14531, 14607, and 14530—entered the prohibited and restricted water of Kinmen from south of Lieyu Island in a single-column formation.

TCGA patrol vessels immediately initiated one-to-one parallel monitoring operations, maintained continuous evidence collection, and issued firm radio warnings in both Chinese and English, demanding that the vessels alter course and depart immediately. In the face of the TCGA’s persistent and resolute enforcement actions, all four Chinese Coast Guard vessels were ultimately expelled from Kinmen’s restricted water at 1708 .

The Kinmen-Matsu-Penghu Branch stated that the repeated intrusions by Chinese Coast Guard vessels immediately before the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, coupled with radio broadcasts promoting political unification, constitute deliberate and irrational harassment. TCGA personnel issued stern warnings demanding that the Chinese Coast Guard cease such provocative actions, emphasizing that only by ending these disturbances can regional peace and stability be maintained.

The TCGA further stressed that it will continue to uphold a firm law-enforcement posture in response to China’s ongoing gray-zone harassment activities. Through round-the-clock intelligence gathering, surveillance, rapid-response capabilities, and forward deployment of patrol assets, the TCGA will continue to closely monitor all intrusive activities by Chinese Coast Guard vessels and respond decisively whenever necessary. The Administration remains committed to safeguarding peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, defending national sovereignty, and ensuring maritime security.
