China “strengthens patrols around Kinmen Island” as a countermeasure after fishing boat accident. The move is a response to last week's incident in which a Chinese fishing boat capsized and killed two people on the island's coast.

Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, which is in charge of Taiwan policy in the Chinese government, strongly criticized Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party government. It appears that they are trying to reduce the "restricted water area" to a mere facade and further increase pressure on the Democratic Progressive party government.
