Tensions Rise as Chinese Coast Guard Boards Taiwanese Tourist Boat

Taiwan protested after Chinese coast guards boarded a tourist boat near the Kinmen archipelago, leading to increased tensions in the area. The incident comes amid rising military activities by China following Taiwan's election of an independence-leaning president. Taiwan's Premier called for a rational and cooperative approach to maintain security in the region, while China has increased patrols and maritime law enforcement in the area. The two sides continue to dispute the waters off the coast of Kinmen, with fishermen from both Taiwan and China affected by the escalating tensions.
