Taiwan's coast guard urged the Chinese to "exercise self-restraint" and to cease this behaviour.
A Chinese coast guard ship sailing into waters of Kinmen, an island administered by Taipei located 5km from the Chinese city of Xiamen, on May 6.
On May 14, the branch of Taiwan’s coast guard that patrols Kinmen, Matsu and Penghu – all outlying islands – said that five Chinese ships had “gathered in waters south of Kinmen and crossed the border to enter our waters” at 3pm local time. It added that the incident on May 14 was the fifth formation of Chinese coast guard ships entering Kinmen’s waters in May.
“We urge the Chinese side to exercise self-restraint and immediately cease this irrational behaviour,” it added.
