The Chinese coastal city of Xiamen is only about two kilometers away from the Taiwanese-administered Kinmen.

According to the news agency AP, two Chinese fishermen drowned during a chase with the Taiwanese coast guard. Their boat had illegally entered Taiwanese waters off the island of Kinmen, the Taiwanese coast guard announced on Wednesday. When the coast guard appeared, the individuals on the boat attempted to flee, resulting in the boat capsizing. Four fishermen fell into the water. AP reports that two could not be revived, while the other two survived and were in good condition.
