Story summary

As of November 1, 2026, Taiwan's Coast Guard accused China of harassing shipping and attempting to exert control over disputed waters off Taiwan's east coast. This comes after China announced its latest patrol involving two ships near Taiwan’s eastern maritime boundary on October 31, 2026. The Taiwanese authorities see this as a violation of international law that undermines regional peace and stability. Since June, China has intensified coastal patrols in the area it considers within its jurisdiction, while Taipei views these actions as potential preparation for a blockade or conflict. In response to Saturday’s patrol, Taiwan deployed its own vessels to monitor Chinese activities. China's coast guard spokesman Jiang Lue stated that the patrol was routine and aimed at ensuring orderly maritime navigation.
