China seizes Taiwanese fishing boat near mainland coast
Taipei | Taiwan said Wednesday that China warned Taiwan’s coast guard against interfering in the detention of a Taiwanese fishing boat, in what is seen as Beijing’s latest attempt to encroach on Taiwanese territory.
The incident comes amid heightened political tensions following the election of President William Lai Ching-te, whose party rejects unification with the mainland, and an apparent threat by Beijing to execute supporters of Taiwanese independence.
