'rejuvenation islet')^[2]^[3] (Fuhsing Islet,^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7] 后宅嶼^[8]^: 36 Hou-chai Hsü^[9]) is an islet located south of Lesser Kinmen (Lieyu) in Lieyu Township, Kinmen County (Quemoy), Fujian Province, Republic of China (Taiwan).^[10]^[11] The name of the islet was originally Phaktia^[9]^[12] (Chinese: 覆鼎嶼^[13]^[14]; pinyin: Fùdǐng Yǔ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Phak-tiáⁿ-sū; lit. 'inverted rice-boiler islet'^[13]^[15]).^[11]

On the night of October 19, 2016, the Coast Guard seized a fishing boat with a four man crew captained by a native of Fujian, PRC that was found operating 0.2 nautical miles from Fuhsing Islet (Fuxing Islet). In October 2016, the Coast Guard had arrested thirty-four crewman from ten Chinese boats in the Kinmen County area.^[5]
