Taiwan's opposition-controlled legislature, led by the Nationalist Party, passed changes increasing its budgetary control, including over defense spending, seen as favoring China.
Tensions in the South China Sea continue to escalate as Taiwan test-fires its domestically developed Sky Sword II (Land Sword II) surface-to-air missile system in a high-profile live-fire drill. Conducted under the supervision of the Republic of China Army, the exercise successfully intercepted multiple aerial targets, including drones, signaling Taiwan's enhanced air defense readiness.

Taiwan has begun live-fire HIMARS drills at Jiupeng base, testing U.S.-supplied systems amid rising tensions in the South China Sea. The military exercise—part of a broader training campaign through June 2025—includes high-precision ATACMS missile launches and underscores Taiwan’s defense readiness. The U.S. has accelerated weapon shipments, with Taiwan set to receive 29 HIMARS launchers and hundreds of missiles by 2027. As Chinese aggression intensifies, regional allies including the U.S. are reinforcing their presence. Taiwan’s show of strength sends a clear message: it’s prepared and watching closely.

A top Philippine general has issued a stark warning over China's aggressive actions in the South China Sea, calling Beijing's claims "illegal and coercive." Brigadier General Logico criticized China’s expanding control near Philippine waters as U.S., Philippine, and Australian forces launch massive joint military drills. With 14,000 troops and international observers involved, the Balikatan exercises underscore a growing alliance. For the first time, the U.S. deployed deadly NMESIS missile systems near Taiwan, intensifying regional tension. As military presence escalates, calls for global attention to China's maritime behavior grow louder.

China’s newest warship Qinzhou has completed a dramatic live-fire drill just days after joining the PLA Navy’s Southern Theater Command. The stealth frigate Type 054B, hull number 555, was seen in state media footage sinking a target using its main gun and close-in weapon system. This marks Beijing’s bold push to expand naval dominance in disputed waters. As tensions rise, military analysts say the ship’s firepower and far-seas capabilities fit China’s long-term strategy to control critical trade routes and deter rivals in the South China Sea.

A former U.S. Army analyst, 25-year-old Korbein Schultz, has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for leaking top-secret military information to a contact he believed was linked to the Chinese government. Schultz admitted to selling sensitive data from 2022 to 2024—including info on U.S. troop movements, missile systems, and lessons from Ukraine—for $42,000. The case raises serious national security concerns, with leaked documents also covering Taiwan and NATO strategy. Schultz even tried to recruit others. Was it greed, ideology—or something darker?
