State Council Taiwan Affairs Office: Mainland China's coast guard authorities carrying out law enforcement patrols in relevant waters is a normal duty.

On June 3rd, the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office held a routine press conference. A reporter asked about the recent law enforcement patrols conducted by Fujian maritime police near Kinmen. The Taiwan Coast Guard Administration claimed that the mainland maritime police were "attempting to create the illusion of jurisdiction in the waters near Kinmen." What is your comment on this? Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian responded, saying that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China, and Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu are all part of China. The mainland maritime police department's law enforcement patrols in the relevant waters are to maintain order in maritime operations and ensure the safety of fishermen from both sides, which is a normal duty.
