[Global Times - Global Network Report by reporter Fan Wei] Zhu Anqing, spokesperson for the East China Sea Branch of the China Coast Guard, stated that on February 25, the Fujian Coast Guard conducted routine law enforcement patrols in the waters near Kinmen in accordance with the law. Since February, the Fujian Coast Guard has organized a fleet of vessels to continuously strengthen law enforcement patrols in the waters near Kinmen, further enhancing the control over the relevant maritime areas, effectively safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese fishermen, including those from Taiwan, as well as their safety and property, and ensuring the normal navigation and operational order in the Xiamen-Kinmen waters.

The law enforcement patrol video released by the China Coast Guard shows that the Fujian Coast Guard vessel 14603 communicated with the Kinmen vessel 10083 of the Taiwan Coast Guard, saying, "During the Spring Festival, both sides of the strait celebrate together, we are all one family, spending a festival together, hoping for a return soon, and talking about reunion." In response, the Kinmen vessel 10083 of the Taiwan Coast Guard replied via radio, "Received, thank you."
