Taiwan Calls for Independent Ocean Surveys Amid Increased Chinese Coast Guard Patrols
Taiwan has urged the need to independently conduct ocean surveys and strengthen maritime intelligence amid increased Chinese Coast Guard patrols near its eastern waters. Taiwan accuses China of harassment and asserting unfounded jurisdiction over these waters, which are vital for its resources and global shipping routes. Chinese patrols have intensified since June, raising concerns about potential maritime blockades. Taiwan maintains its sovereignty over these waters and calls for enhanced Coast Guard capabilities to monitor and respond to these activities.
