On the 28th, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference.
A reporter asked: After the vicious ship collision on "2·14", public opinion on the island has questioned Taiwan's "maritime committee chairperson" Guan Biling's inconsistent rhetoric and shirk of responsibility, believing that he has neglected his duties and should bear "political responsibility." .
Any comments on this?
In this regard, Zhu Fenglian said that everyone has seen that Guan Biling treated the handling of the "2.14" vicious ship collision as a personal political performance, concealing the truth, shifting blame, and telling lies.
Not only did he not apologize to the victims, but he also continued to set up obstacles in the aftermath, which was extremely cold-blooded and contemptuous.
I advise this lady to be considerate, stop harming the families of the victims, and give an explanation to the families of the victims and compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait as soon as possible.
In addition, some reporters asked: After the vicious ship collision on "2.14", the Taiwan side deliberately concealed the truth, shirked responsibility, and took the opportunity to incite cross-strait confrontation.
Any comments on this?
In this regard, Zhu Fenglian said that on February 14, Taiwan collided with a mainland fishing boat in the Xiamen-Jinjiang waters, killing and injuring four fishermen, seriously hurting the feelings of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and arousing strong indignation from all walks of life on the mainland and widespread doubts among public opinion on the island.
Half a month has passed since the incident occurred, and the DPP authorities have not expressed any apology. Regarding the truth of the incident, the DPP authorities have concealed, lied, misled, and been inconsistent, trying to cover up the truth and shirk responsibility.
Some politicians and media on the island ignore the facts, speak nonsense, and have arrogant and inhumane attitudes.
We express strong indignation and condemnation over this.
We solemnly demand that Taiwan announce the truth as soon as possible, severely punish those responsible, apologize to the families of the victims, meet their reasonable demands, and give an explanation to the families of the victims and compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
We will resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of our compatriots and will never allow such an incident to happen again.
The mainland reserves the right to take further measures, and Taiwan will bear all consequences.
In addition, a reporter asked: After the vicious ship collision on "2.14", the mainland Coast Guard announced the launch of regular law enforcement inspections.
Some public opinion on the island said that the mainland wants to use this to "put pressure" on Taiwan before May 20. In the future, it may "turn the waters of Xiamen and Jinjiang into Diaoyu Islands" and send coast guard ships to regularly enter Taiwan's so-called "prohibited and restricted waters". "Declare law enforcement.
Any comments on this?
Zhu Fenglian said that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China, and Taiwan is part of China.
Xiamen-Jinjiang waters have been traditional fishing grounds for fishermen on both sides of the Taiwan Strait since ancient times. There is no such thing as "prohibited or restricted waters".
The mainland coast guard department carries out regular law enforcement and inspection operations, which is conducive to maintaining normal order in relevant sea areas and ensuring the safety of fishermen's lives and property on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
