On February 14th, a mainland fishing boat entered the prohibited waters of Kinmen, and the Taiwan Coast Guard dispatched a vessel in pursuit. Five minutes later, the mainland fishing boat capsized, resulting in two deaths.
Over the past week, this incident has dramatically escalated the situation in Kinmen. The mainland has declared that it does not recognize the prohibited waters unilaterally announced by Taiwan. Meanwhile, mainland coast guard ships have entered the waters around Kinmen for patrols, with Taiwan continuously challenging the mainland. For a time, the situation in the waters around Kinmen was extremely tense.
What does this incident signify? Why is Kinmen referred to as a super powder keg and a fuse region? If a war were to unfortunately break out across the Taiwan Strait in the future, what could the possible roadmap look like?
