Chinese Infiltrator Chinese man detained as he enters illegally into Taiwan waters
Taipei: A Chinese man, who was travelling in a rubber boat, was intercepted by coast guard officers in Taiwan's territorial waters on Sunday, media reports said on Monday.
The boat was spotted near the coast of Lieyu Township in Taiwan's Kinmen Islands during a regular coast guard patrol, the local CGA unit told Focus Taiwan.
When the rubber dingy was intercepted, its lone occupant, a man in his 50s, said he had sailed from the nearby Chinese city of Xiamen in pursuit of freedom and democracy in Taiwan, according to the CGA.
The CGA told the news portal it detained the man and notified the Kinmen County health department and other relevant units about his attempted illegal entry into Taiwan.
