Communications on board the capsized Chinese ship have reached a standstill. Due to continued pressure from China, Taiwan has not yet recorded any video for immediate self-evidence, pending the outcome of the investigation.KuomintangLegislator Lai Shibao questioned whether the government intended to escalate cross-strait hostilities and even involve the United States? In this regard, Qiu Taisun, chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, said that the case occurred in Jinxia Water, the fishing grounds of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and not in the central line of the Taiwan Strait nor in territorial waters. This is only a “prohibited and restricted waters” issue, so do not associate it with the United States or the United States. In other countries, the Coast Guard has also had experience of dealing with this problem in the past. At the same time, Qiu Taishan said that he would like to apologize in the report of the Mainland Affairs Council for not specifying the topic “ship collision case”.
On the 4th, the Taiwan Legislative Yuan House Affairs Committee invited the Maritime Affairs Commission, Mainland Affairs Council andDepartment of Defenseproject report, but only the title of the Ministry of National Defense report completely lists “Kinmen Ship Collision Case: Ship Capsize Law Enforcement Process and Follow-up Handling Project Report”, the IOC changed the name on the internal page to “Cancellation”. Have given. Mainland Citizenship”speedboat“Accident Case”, the cover of the report of the Mainland Affairs Council directly lists “Special Report of the Meeting of the Second Plenary Committee of the Home Affairs Committee of the 11th Session of the Legislative Yuan.” A specific headline, and the content did not mention the conflict.
Regarding the controversy over the subject of the report, IOC President Guan Biiling stressed that the coast guard’s position should be defended. “Confrontation” is the name that mainland China wants to use most, but “confrontation” is completely different from “confrontation”, but he also said that he is willing to accept the blame.
As for the Mainland Affairs Council, Lai Shibao asked Qiu Taisan during the question, please apologize for the topic of the report, respect the convening committee and do not trivialize it, “You (Qiu Taisan) have no topic. You can’t be dishonest, you can’t be a “mooji”, you can’t be like that.
Qiu Taishan responded that the Mainland Affairs Council did not change the title, but “did not write it.” Later, Lai Shibao said that if administrative officials disagree with the topic of the convening committee, the matter should be discussed simply, or the topic should be explained in the content of the report. Qiu Taishan responded that it was indeed worthy of discussion, and he was willing to apologize to the convening committee (Gao Jin Sumei) on this point.
Then, Lai Shibao questioned whether Taiwan’s handling of the matter was intended to increase cross-Strait hostility and even allow the United States to intervene. Qiu Taisan said the incident occurred in Jinxia waters, a fishing area for people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. It is not the center line of the Taiwan Strait, nor are it territorial waters. This is only an issue of “prohibited and restricted waters”, so don’t think about the United States or other countries. There have been many accidents in the past. The coast patrol has the experience to handle this, which can happen in the open sea. Differs from a large number of previous cases.
As far as external concerns are concerned, when the two sides talked about the capsized Chinese ship, was compensation mentioned. Zhou Meiwu, vice chairman of the Maritime Commission and director of maritime patrol, said discussions have begun on relevant matters, but the term used by Taiwan is not compensation, but solatium and condolence money. As for the amount, Zhou Meiwu said that it is not convenient to disclose it now because communication is still ongoing. If the Mainland Affairs Council and the Straits Exchange Foundation handle cases of accidental death of Chinese personnel in Taiwan according to the past, the average amount will be NT$3 to 4 million, which is about RMB 800,000 to about 1 million Yuan.
