Taiwan Warns Chinese Coast Guard to Leave Restricted Waters

For the second consecutive day, Taiwan's coast guard has issued warnings to Chinese vessels entering restricted waters near the Kinmen Islands, amid escalating tensions.

• Taiwan's coast guard warned four Chinese coast guard boats to leave restricted waters near the Kinmen Islands for the second day in a row.
• The warnings come amidst heightened tensions and almost daily incursions by China into areas near Taiwan.
• Despite the ongoing harassment, Taiwan has cooperated with China on maritime incidents, including search and rescue missions.
• A senior Taiwan security official described Beijing's actions as sending 'confusing' messages by simultaneously harassing Taiwan and requesting assistance.
• Taiwan's top China policy-making body has urged China not to alter the 'status quo' in waters near Kinmen by sending coast guard boats into restricted areas.
