台海巡东沙附近海域对大陆渔船使用水炮 国台办称台方须承担一切后果
据路透社援引台湾海巡署的说法报道，本月，台湾海巡署船只在东沙群岛附近的限制水域，对一艘未理会警告的大陆渔船使用水炮。该渔船随后引擎故障，由附近的大陆船只拖走。
针对这一事件，大陆国务院台湾事务办公室发言人陈斌华10月14日表示，中方对东沙群岛及周边水域拥有「无可争辩的主权」，大陆船只在相关水域作业合法正当，并称台方「必须承担由此产生的一切后果」。陈斌华未说明「后果」具体为何。
台方则有不同表述。一名台湾官员对路透社表示，海巡人员系「正常执法」，相关回应「非常谨慎且相称」。

Taiwan Coast Guard Uses Water Cannon on Mainland Fishing Boat Near Dongsha; Beijing Says Taipei Must Bear All Consequences
Taiwan Coast Guard vessels used a water cannon this month on a mainland Chinese fishing boat that had ignored warnings in restricted waters near the Dongsha Islands, according to Reuters, citing Taiwan's Coast Guard Administration. The fishing boat later suffered engine failure and was towed away by a mainland vessel nearby.
Responding to the incident, Chen Binhua, spokesperson for mainland China's Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on October 14 that China holds "indisputable sovereignty" over the Dongsha Islands and their surrounding waters, that mainland vessels operating in the area are lawful and legitimate, and that the Taiwan side "must bear all consequences arising from this." Chen did not specify what those consequences would be.
Taiwan gave a different account. A Taiwan official told Reuters that coast guard personnel were conducting "normal law enforcement" and that the response was "very cautious and proportionate."
The Dongsha Islands lie in the northern South China Sea. Reuters did not specify the exact date of this month's water-cannon incident, and the two sides offered differing characterizations of the event and of rights in the waters involved. (Reporting by Reuters)
