In news from and about Taiwan this morning,

The Coast Guard Administration is linking China's seizure of a Taiwan fishing
boat illegally operating in its territorial waters to its new regulation
authorizing the Chinese coast guard to seize boats in waters it claims.

According to administration Deputy Director-General Xie Qing-qin, Beijing has
stepped up harassment of foreign vessels since June and the harassment has
increased not just in terms of the number of incidents, but also in terms of
force used.

Beijing initiated China Coast Guard Regulation No. 3 on June 15 ..

... and it allows the coast guard personnel to board and hold vessels in
disputed waters it claims and to question and detain foreign nationals found
to have violated its "exit and entry rules" for up to 60 days.

The Coast Guard Administration deputy director-general is warning
Taiwan-registered fishing boats and other ships that pass through nearby
waters to be wary, while also stressing that his agency will step up efforts
to escort Taiwanese fishing vessels.
