近年來，隨著海洋經濟的快速發展，各國在其管轄海域內各種違法犯罪活動變得更加頻繁，海上犯罪呈現複雜化、國際化和專業化的態勢。由於海上犯罪的特殊性加大犯罪現場勘查、證據調取、調查事實、人員追捕等方面的難度。隨者中國大陸不斷向海上強權國家邁進，其在南海、東海和臺灣海峽的衝突也與日俱增。為此，中共當局除了進行海警組織的改革之外，並立法通過《海警法》，開啟中國海警海上執法新格局。雖然中共當局不斷聲稱《海警法》相關規定均符合國際法，然而，該法的不少規定卻引發不少海上鄰國的關注。此外，兩岸均主張擁有對臺灣海峽的海洋資源的使用權利與保護，未來可能成為中國海警局與我國海巡署間的對峙處理問題，引發兩岸海上執法衝突問題，甚至引發臺海危機，值得研究觀察。

In recent years, with the rapid development of marine economy, various illegal and criminal activities in the sea areas under the jurisdiction of various countries have become more frequent, and maritime crimes show a trend of complexity, internationalization and specialization. Due to the particularity of maritime crime, it is more difficult to investigate the crime scene, obtain evidence, investigate facts and pursue personnel. As Chinese Mainland continues to move towards a maritime power, its conflicts in the South China Sea, the East China Sea and the Taiwan Strait are also increasing day by day. To this end, in addition to the reform of the maritime police organization, the Chinese Communist authorities passed the maritime police law, opening a new pattern of maritime law enforcement of the Chinese maritime police. Although the Chinese Communist authorities have repeatedly claimed that the relevant provisions of the maritime police law are in line with international law, many provisions of the law have attracted the attention of many maritime neighbors. In addition, both sides of the Strait claim to have the right to use and protect the marine resources in the Taiwan Strait. In the future, it may become a confrontation between the China maritime police bureau and China's coast guard, which may lead to the conflict of cross-strait maritime law enforcement and even the crisis in the Taiwan Strait. It is worth studying and observing.
