The Fire Department of the Ministry of Interior held the 3rd International Rope Rescue Elite Competition at the Nantou Training Center, bringing together 18 domestic and 9 international teams, a total of 27 teams, for a three-day practical rescue competition. Firefighting Director Xiao Huanzhang expressed the hope that through competition exchanges and the establishment of the "World Alliance for Disaster Management (WADM)", my country's rescue capabilities will continue to be in line with the world, and the training center will be built into a rope rescue technology exchange platform in the Asia-Pacific region.

The Philippines is promoting the largest naval modernization plan in history and plans to spend 80 billion to 110 billion pesos to build two diesel-electric submarines, which are expected to be acquired in the early 2030s. Military experts analyze that Philippine submarines are deployed at the southern end of the Bashi Strait, forming a north-south pincer attack with Taiwanese submarines, blocking the passage of Communist submarines into and out of the Western Pacific through the Luzon Strait. Limited by diplomatic realities, Taiwan-Philippine cooperation may adopt a low-key mode, referring to the precedent of Taiwan’s secret training.

Japan's Ministry of Finance recommends that defense spending be controlled at 50 to 60 trillion yen for the five years starting in April 2027, which is lower than the 80 trillion yen advocated by some officials. This may lead to a reduction of procurement plans including F-35 fighter jets by as much as half, and defense contractors are warned that future orders may be significantly reduced.

A report by the Institute of War, a think tank in Washington, revealed that the People's Liberation Army has recently conducted unannounced "silent" military exercises involving more than 100 ships in the Western Pacific and around Taiwan. National security officials analyzed this as a silent intimidation against Taiwan's nine-in-one elections and the APEC leaders' summit, aiming to create an atmosphere of "military danger" to exert pressure while avoiding triggering a backlash in international and Taiwanese public opinion. In terms of combat force deployment, the exercise exceeded the scale of "Justice Mission-2025". It rarely coordinated the surface combat forces of the three major coastal theaters in the east, north, and south, simulated breaking through the first island chain and attacking forces in other areas of the island chain. In early November, it also tested a submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missile, with a range covering Hawaii and Guam. The firing logic between China and Russia is highly consistent, showing that the two sides have demonstrated cross-theater strategic countermeasure capabilities to the U.S. and the alliance through collaboration.

With the advancement of testing of the domestically built Haikun submarine and the launch of the subsequent seven-ship construction plan, coupled with the completion of the performance improvement of the two Stegosaurus-class submarines, the Navy will have 10 modern submarines. The military pointed out that in the face of the Communist underwater force with more than 60 submarines of various types, Taiwan does not intend to compete for numbers. Instead, it adopts an asymmetric combat thinking, locking in "underwater silent hunting" and "throat channel blockade", and using its elite combat power to exert a small-to-large defense effect.

In response to the fact that it will have 10 modern submarines in the future, the Navy plans to allocate a budget of approximately 13.8 billion yuan from 2027 to 2034, giving priority to the construction of a dedicated "submarine rescue ship", and simultaneously planning two follow-up ships of the Dawu-class rescue ship to establish independent underwater rescue capabilities.
