Taiwan calls on China to 'be rational' after deadly boat incident

Taiwan urged Beijing to act rationally after a deadly clash involving a Chinese boat and Taiwanese coast guard. The incident near Kinmen, an island administered by Taiwan, led to the deaths of two Chinese crew members and heightened tensions between the two sides. Taiwan's premier emphasized the island's commitment to protecting its waters and the rights of its fishermen. Despite the incident, Taiwan called for cooperation to ensure safety in the Kinmen-Xiamen waters, which are prone to accidental incursions due to their proximity.
