Taiwan Alerts to Rising Chinese Vessel Activity
Taiwan reported a significant increase in the number of Chinese vessels entering its surrounding waters in June, with 263 ships observed compared to 200 in May and 171 in June 2025. China continues to deploy aircraft, warships, and semi-military vessels daily to reinforce its claims of sovereignty over the island. Additionally, China has patrolled waters east of Taiwan with the aim of disrupting navigation, including attempts to prevent Taiwan from receiving supplies by stopping commercial ships and blocking their entry into ports. Taiwan is preparing to conduct simulated drills for a naval blockade or potential siege amid escalating military activities and Chinese incursions aimed at asserting control. Meanwhile, the Taiwanese President has called on her party members to confront what she described as Chinese "Red Terror" in order to defend the island's democracy.
