On February 14, 2024, a boat of the 9th Brigade of the Coast Guard Administration of Taiwan (CGA) collided with a Chinese motorboat[3] which was trespassing and illegally fishing in the waters of Kinmen, Fuchien Province, Taiwan (ROC). All four crew members of the Chinese motorboat were thrown into the water, two of whom later died.
The event has been called the 2024 Kinmen Chinese motorboat capsizing Incident,[a] the 2/14 Kinmen Incident[note 2][b] and the Kinmen motorboat Capsizing Incident.[c][4][5]
Event
The 9th Brigade boat attempted to pullover the unnamed and unregistered motorboat. The motorboat did not pull over, resulting in a chase, which ultimately led to the collision.
Aftermath
The two surviving crew members were detained in Kinmen.[2][6]
The incident led to increased tensions between China and Taiwan, as China disputed the CGA's justification for the chase and the concept of restricted waters.[2][7][8] China Coast Guard increased patrols in the area following the incident.[2] On February 19, China Coast Guard officials boarded a Taiwanese cruise ship near Kinmen for half an hour, which drew criticism from Taiwanese authorities.[9][7]
