中国海警发言人蒋略表示，中国海警周六由护航舰艇编队在台湾岛以东海域开展常态化执法巡航。
The China Coast Guard conducted routine law enforcement patrols in waters east of Taiwan Island on Saturday, led by its Hushi vessel formation, said Jiang Lue, a CCG spokesperson.
蒋略称，自10月以来，该编队已加强相关海域的巡航检查行动，以确保正常航行和作业秩序，并保护中国人民（包括台湾同胞）的合法权益和生命财产安全。
Jiang said the formation has strengthened patrol and inspection operations in relevant waters since October to ensure normal navigation and working order, as well as protect the legitimate rights and interests and the safety of life and property of Chinese people, including compatriots in Taiwan.
他表示，中国海警将继续加强在中国管辖海域的执法巡航，坚决维护国家领土主权和海洋权益。
The CCG will continue to strengthen law enforcement patrols in waters under China's jurisdiction and resolutely safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, he said.
