Taiwan’s Coast Guard said on 23 October that China was deploying maritime militia vessels alongside coast guard and research ships in what it called expanded battlefield preparation around Taiwan and the western Pacific. Officials described an August 16 incident involving a suspected militia boat, Minfudingyu 07902, that approached within approximately 2.7 nautical miles outside Taiwan’s restricted waters. Taiwan said the activity also increased pressure on Japan and the Philippines. These are attributed Taiwanese assessments, not independently verified evidence of an imminent military operation.
Taiwan has reportedly warned that Chinese maritime militia activity is expanding into the Western Pacific, raising concerns about regional security and maritime stability. The reported developments highlight growing tensions over strategic waterways and military activity in the region.
