He swam from Kinmen, a small island about 2 miles from the mainland.

"As a captain in the Republic of China Army in Taiwan, he defected to Mainland China on May 17, 1979, from the island of Kinmen off the coast of Fujian to the nearby island of Xiamen of Mainland China."[1]

I was also dubious. The swim was from Kinmen to Xiamen (~6 km)
