The China Coast Guard (CCG) dispatched multiple formations of vessels to conduct law enforcement drills in waters surrounding the Taiwan island on Wednesday.

The CCG formations of vessels carried out a series of exercises including radar detection, approaching and verification, warning and expulsion, route control, boarding, inspection and detention as well as interception and seizure, testing the ability to control the waters around the Taiwan island and important ports.

As the sirens sounded, the CCG officers aboard the vessels off Keelung, Kaohsiung, Taichung and Hualien rapidly arrived at their duty positions to conduct simulated law enforcement and control over vessels entering and leaving the port.

In the drills, a "target vessel" was moving at a high speed, attempting to evade inspection. The CCG vessels forced it to stop according to law by joint attacking, firing water cannon and route control. Then the law enforcement officers quickly took a small boat to the vessel for inspection and made arrests after taking control of the vessel.

As part of the action, the CCG's Fujian branch, based in east China's Fujian Province opposite the Taiwan island, conducted comprehensive law enforcement drills in the waters near the Dongyin and Wuqiu islands, warned off and expelled Taiwan vessels that tried to interfere with CCG vessels' normal law enforcement patrols.

"During this drill, we exercised legitimate jurisdiction and control over the waters around the Taiwan island in accordance with the one-China principle, tested the ability of swift response and emergency management, and achieved results as expected," said Han Baoguo, a CCG officer with Vessel 2305.
