The bow of a Chinese militia ship appears in the waters east of Taiwan! Du Yijin reveals the "division of labor among three ships": fear of locking submarine cables

A surveillance report reviewed by Reuters showed that in August this year, a Chinese militia ship appeared together with two other ships in the Pacific waters east of Taiwan. This is the first time such a vessel has been found in this sensitive sea area. In this regard, Du Yijin, founder of the Taiwan Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, said that the CCP's three ships in one were gray attacks on Taiwan's eastern submarine cable. As for why it was suspended off the coast of Hualien, you can pay attention to whether there are Taiwanese fishing boats to provide supplies.

Du Yijin said in a Facebook post that by overlapping the seabed depth map and the submarine cable map, you can know what these three types of ships are doing. Along the shallow waters of Taiwan's eastern waters, fake fishing boats are responsible for attack: militia ships anchor and cut submarine cables; marine research vessels are responsible for search: investigating the depth of the seabed and finding submarine cables; and coast guard are responsible for defense: driving away approaching ships.

Du Yijin pointed out that due to the shallow depth of the seabed in Taiwan's western waters, gray attacks can be used to cut submarine cables. Therefore, the Ministry of Digital Information and International Cooperation established submarine cable landing points in the eastern waters to enhance the toughness of submarine cables. In the eastern sea, the depth of the seafloor drops rapidly not far from Taiwan. Generally, ships cannot cut submarine cables by dragging anchors. However, there are also mountains on the seabed in the eastern seas. Submarine cables will also be exposed over these high mountains on the seafloor, and there is an opportunity to cut them by dragging anchors.

Du Yijin continued to point out that it can be seen on the map that "many international submarine cables pass through the shallow water areas of the sea mountains running east-west and north-south." This is the area where the three ships cooperated to search for attacks. As for why they were suspended off the coast of Hualien, you can pay attention to whether there are Taiwanese fishing boats supplying support. Since the western submarine cables are generally attacked by Chinese fishing boats, the eastern part of Taiwan is an important mechanism for the resilience of submarine cables. In recent years, there have been two plans: TPU and AUG East.

Du Yijin added that TPU is the abbreviation of Taiwan-Philippines-U.S., connecting Taiwan, Philippines and the United States. The Taiwan end is located in Dawu, Taitung. Another line, AUG East, double lands in Yilan and Taitung, connecting Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia.
