The coast guard of east China's Fujian Province on Friday conducted routine law enforcement patrols in waters near Kinmen, a group of islands administered by China's Taiwan region and located just off the coast of Xiamen City.

A video shows a Fujian Coast Guard vessel broadcasting a message to Kinmen vessel 10083 during the patrol.

"Kinmen Vessel 10083, this is China Coast Guard (CCG) Vessel Shanzhou. Our vessel is conducting law enforcement patrols in the Xiamen-Kinmen sea area. Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. Taiwan's recovery is a great achievement of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. We hope compatriots on both sides of the Strait will remember history, join hands to safeguard the fruits of the recovery, and work together to promote the reunification of the motherland," a CCG member said in the broadcast.

Since October, the Fujian Coast Guard has deployed vessel formations to step up control in relevant waters, effectively safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests, as well as the lives and property of fishermen on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, while maintaining normal navigation and operation order in the Xiamen-Kinmen sea area.

International gold prices fell to a one-year low on Friday, pressured by rising international crude oil prices, intensifying U.S. inflationary pressures and growing expectations of further Federal Reserve rate hikes.

On the New York Mercantile Exchange, gold futures for December delivery dropped 3.29 percent to settle at 3,898.9 U.S. dollars per ounce, while silver futures for December delivery lost 5.93 percent to close at 49.276 dollars per ounce.

This marks the first time silver futures prices have fallen below the 50 U.S. dollars per ounce threshold since November 2025.
