China-Taiwan Maritime Standoff: 5 China coast guard ships enter waters around Kinmen | Oneindia
On Tuesday, Taiwan's Minister informed that five Chinese coast guard vessels breached restricted waters surrounding Kinmen, a frontline island under Taiwan's control.
This incident adds to the escalating tensions between Taiwan and Beijing.
China initiated regular patrols around Kinmen after two Chinese nationals tragically perished while attempting to flee Taiwan's coast guard in prohibited waters.
Kuan Bi-ling, leading Taiwan's Ocean Affairs Council, emphasised the significance of this intrusion, describing it as a veiled declaration of sovereignty.
Taiwan detected 37 Chinese military aircraft, including fighter jets and drones, near its airspace, with 35 crossing the median line of the Taiwan Strait. In response, Taiwan deployed aircraft, naval vessels, and shore-based missiles. The incident follows recent Chinese military drills and heightened defense patrols. China frames these maneuvers as defense measures, raising tensions as Beijing views Taiwan as a breakaway province, intensifying regional concerns over potential conflict.

In a groundbreaking move, Beijing has successfully launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) into the Pacific Ocean for the first time since 1980. This "routine" test, which China claims is not directed at any specific country, marks a significant shift in its military capabilities and strategy. Analysts suggest the missile is likely a Dong Feng-41, capable of reaching up to 15,000 kilometers. The launch has raised concerns among neighboring nations, highlighting China's growing assertiveness on the global stage.
