🚢 On December 30, 2025, the coast guard of Fujian Province in the Chinese mainland set sail for a law enforcement patrol in the waters off the Taiwan region. According to Zhu Anqing, spokesperson for the China Coast Guard East Sea Bureau, the mission aimed to test regional control capabilities through a series of dynamic drills.
The exercises included verification and identification maneuvers, warning and expulsion operations, and hands-on visit, board, search, and seizure (VBSS) drills. These scenarios help officers sharpen their skills in real-world situations—from identifying vessels at sea to safely boarding and inspecting them.
For young professionals, students, and travelers, these patrols highlight the importance of maritime security in a region where trade routes and local communities rely on stable seas. Understanding how coast guards operate offers fresh insights into international relations and law enforcement at sea. ⚓️
Stay tuned to see how these exercises could shape future cooperation and security across the Taiwan Strait. 🌊
