The coast guard of east China's Fujian Province on Monday conducted routine law enforcement patrols in accordance with the law in the waters near Kinmen, said a spokesperson for a regional branch of China Coast Guard (CCG).

Since the beginning of June, the Fujian coast guard has dispatched task groups to strengthen control and management over relevant waters, said Zhu Anqing, spokesperson of the CCG Donghai Branch.

Zhu added that this is an effective step to protect the legitimate rights and interests, as well as the lives and property of fishermen on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and to ensure orderly navigation and activities in the waters between Xiamen and Kinmen.

A video released by the China Coast Guard shows the Fujian Coast Guard broadcasting a message to Kinmen Vessel 3585 before the Dragon Boat Festival that fell on June 19.

"Kinmen Vessel 3585, this is China Coast Guard Vessel Gaodeng. Our formation is currently on course 052, speed 10 knots. Please keep clear," said a CCG member.

"Kinmen Vessel 3585, this is China Coast Guard Vessel Gaodeng. As the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait share the same roots and bloodlines, we wish you a safe and happy festival. May you return home soon, and may we be reunited as one family at an early date," said another CCG member.
