Five Chinese coast guard ships entered prohibited or restricted waters around Taiwan's frontline islands of Kinmen on Monday, a Taiwan minister told reporters on Tuesday amid a rise in tension with Beijing.
China's coast guard this month began regular patrols around the Taiwan-controlled Kinmen islands after two Chinese nationals died trying to flee Taiwan's coast guard after their boat entered prohibited waters. (Reporting By Ben Blanchard; Editing by Tom Hogue)
