⚡️🇨🇳🇺🇸🇹🇼 — US State Department labels China’s maritime activity east of Taiwan “deeply destabilising,” citing increased coast guard patrols since June and the first known sighting of a Chinese maritime militia boat in August. Taiwanese officials suspect China is rehearsing a potential blockade using military, paramilitary, and civilian assets, viewing the area as critical for wartime supply routes. — Reuters

➡️ Washington urges Beijing to cease pressure and engage in dialogue, while the Taiwan’s Coast Guard states the vessels were outside restricted waters.
