2. Coast Guard officers involved in Kinmen capsizing incident not charged

Kinmen prosecutors have decided not to indict two Coast Guard Administration (CGA) officers in connection with the deaths of two Chinese nationals in a capsizing incident in February due to insufficient evidence. The unnamed and unregistered Chinese boat with four people on board was spotted in Taiwanese waters near the Taiwan-controlled Kinmen Islands on Feb. 14 by a CGA patrol vessel, which asked to board and inspect the Chinese ship. It refused and later fled, setting off a high-speed chase that ended when the vessel made a sudden turn, collided with the CGA patrol boat, and capsized, leading to the deaths of two of the Chinese crew members.
