One of the two Taiwanese fishermen who were detained by China after losing their way in sea waters was handed over to Kinmen coast guard officials, Chinese authorities announced on Saturday.
According to Taiwan's Coast Guard Administration (CGA), on both Friday and Saturday, four Chinese Coast Guard patrol vessels entered Kinmen's waters. The CGA closely monitored these incursions, issuing warnings until the Chinese ships departed.
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.
