Does the Chinese Communist Party like to use military exercises to interfere in my country’s election campaign? From aircraft ships crossing the Taiwan Strait to silent military exercises, a review of 10 years of records

The People's Liberation Army of China has recently assembled more than a hundred naval and coast guard vessels in the Western Pacific, and the U.S. think tank ISW has concluded that it may conduct an unannounced large-scale "silent military exercise." It is less than a month before the nine-in-one election on November 28, which has attracted attention. Looking back at the 60 days before each election from 2016 to 2024, the CCP’s military pressure took different forms, including aircraft crossing the Taiwan Strait, intensive military aircraft activities, airborne balloons, and unannounced fleet deployments. However, not every election increased military pressure, and there is currently no sufficient evidence to prove that military activities directly target the election.

The Port Bureau bans Chinese-funded yachts from visiting Taiwan. Military experts: It can prevent attack drones from raiding

The Airports and Ports Bureau revised the "Principles for Reviewing the Period of Permit for Non-resident Yachts Applying to Visit Taiwan" and added that Chinese-owned yachts are prohibited from coming to Taiwan. Violators will be fined up to NT$300,000 and must leave the port immediately. Ji Dongyun, chairman of the Taiwan Security Development Association, pointed out that if Chinese-funded yachts carry attack drones to raid, it will pose a great threat to Taiwan's important ports. He gave the example of Ukraine's Spider Web operation and emphasized that Taiwan needs to strengthen prevention.

The CCP Fujian may also participate in the "silent military exercise". There are different opinions on whether it will achieve combat effectiveness after serving for one year.

China's third aircraft carrier, the Fujian, has been in service for one year since November 5 last year. CCTV revealed that it has completed the electromagnetic catapult take-off and landing of multiple types of carrier-based aircraft, cross-sea navigation and preliminary formation training, and has basically formed combat effectiveness. However, the US military media believes that it remains to be seen whether it can complete all combat effectiveness certifications in about one year of service. The Chinese Navy has not officially announced that it has achieved complete combat capabilities.
