On Monday, the Fujian Coast Guard organized a flotilla to conduct law-enforcement patrols in waters near the island of Taiwan, carrying out drills including joint fishery protection, certificate verification and identification, and interception and seizure, testing its capabilities in effective control and efficient law enforcement. 

Exclusive on-site footage obtained by the Global Times from the China Coast Guard shows that during the law enforcement patrols, Taiwan regional military deployed a Kidd-class destroyer to operate in the surrounding waters. Additionally, Taiwan-based coast guard administration sent vessels to approach and film materials. In face of the ships from the island, the China Coast Guard vessels issued a stern warning in Putonghua and the Minnan dialect, declaring: "Serving the cause of 'Taiwan independence' leads only to a dead end."
