Tensions have escalated between Taiwan and China as Taiwanese coast guard warned off Chinese vessels that entered restricted waters near the Kinmen islands for the second consecutive day. China claims Taiwan as part of its territory, leading to increased military activities near Taiwan. Despite recent joint rescue missions, the actions of the Chinese coast guard near Kinmen have raised concerns about maritime security in the region. Taiwan has emphasized the importance of cooperation while expressing confusion over China’s seemingly contradictory behavior. Taiwan has urged China to maintain the status quo in the area to prevent further escalation.
