Hey there! Have you ever heard about coast guards? They’re like the guardians of the sea! 🌊 On Tuesday, the China Coast Guard (CCG) organized special patrols in the waters around Taiwan Island.
These big ships sailed around, practicing important drills like checking other vessels to make sure everyone is following the rules of the sea. They even practiced stopping ships that might not be supposed to be there! 🛑
Why did they do this? Well, according to a spokesperson named Zhu Anqing, Taiwan is considered a province of the People’s Republic of China. The CCG wants to keep everything safe and secure around the island.
These patrols show how they’re watching over the area, following something called the “one-China principle.” That’s a big way of saying that China sees Taiwan as part of its country.
Isn’t it interesting how countries have teams to protect their waters? Next time you think about the ocean, remember there are people out there making sure it’s safe for everyone! 🚢
