Taiwan fires water cannon at Chinese fishing boat near Dongsha

Original: Taiwan hit a Chinese fishing boat with a water cannon after it refused repeated orders to leave restricted waters near D

Taiwan's Coast Guard used a water cannon to drive away a Chinese fishing boat that entered restricted waters near Dongsha Island. Reports say the vessel ignored three radio warnings before the coast guard intervened and forced it to leave. The incident adds to ongoing friction between Taiwan and China over maritime patrols and territorial boundaries in contested waters.

Why now: Cross-strait maritime confrontations between Taiwan and China are a sensitive and closely watched flashpoint.
