Taiwan’s military is on high alert following the detection of Chinese warships and coast guard vessels near its waters. In response to China’s actions, Taiwan initiated combat readiness drills, while President Lai Ching-te’s recent Pacific tour has intensified speculation about potential Chinese military responses. Lai’s administration emphasizes Taiwan’s sovereignty amid rising military threats from China, which asserts the island as part of its territory. The situation escalates as the U.S. continues to support Taiwan with arms sales.
