Tensions Rise as China Increases Patrols Near Taiwan's Kinmen Archipelago

China is increasing patrols near Taiwan's Kinmen archipelago following the drowning of two fishermen during a chase by the Taiwanese coast guard. Tensions have risen as Chinese vessels, including sand dredgers and fishing boats, have increased in the area, causing complaints from Kinmen residents about noise pollution and fishing losses. Taiwan claims the area as restricted, but China disputes this, leading to a furious condemnation and blame from China after the fishermen's deaths. The two survivors are in Taiwan's custody, and both sides are communicating while China vows further measures, escalating the ongoing dispute over Taiwan's status.
