The recent tense episodes between China and Taiwan are part of Beijing's 'big plan' to trigger panic in Taiwan, which has recently given mandate to Lai Ching-te, who is a staunch defender of Taiwanese identity, CNN reported.
Kuan Bi-ling's statement comes after a Taiwanese tour boat in Kinmen, the "King Xia," that strayed near Chinese territorial waters was intercepted by a Chinese Coast guard ship and boarded by Chinese personnel on February 19.
The sightseeing vessel "King Xia" which had 11 crew members and 23 passengers was 2.8 nautical miles northwest of Kinmen's Wushajiao when it was intercepted by two Chinese coast guard boats at around 4:47 pm.
A Taiwanese cruise ship was escorted back to Kinmen after being boarded and inspected by Chinese Coast Guard personnel on Monday, Focus Taiwan reported citing Taipei's Coast Guard Administration (CGA).
