China intensifies Taiwan tensions after Japan-Philippines actions
China launched a naval operation in waters east of Taiwan, describing it as a "law enforcement" activity in response to official talks between Japan and the Philippines to delimit maritime boundaries near the island. The Chinese Ministry of Transport mobilized naval police forces to counter what Beijing considered a unilateral declaration by Japan and the Philippines, although details of the operation and the number of ships involved have not been disclosed. Taiwan responded by sending naval ships to monitor Chinese movements, viewing this as a violation of international law. China was also accused of conducting the first coordinated operation near the Pratas Islands to establish a de facto maritime control in the area.
