Exclusive》China’s gray harassment tactics have been updated, and maritime “beacons” may provide information about crossing the sea and attacking Taiwan.

Due to the complicated process of making special AIS signals in China, they are suspected to be weapons of espionage.

Is China using new tactics to harass Taiwan? A large number of Chinese-made beacons of unknown origin have recently been discovered in the waters of Taiwan and Penghu. Due to the complicated process and the presence of unknown serial numbers, people from all walks of life are worried about whether they are responsible for espionage missions. In addition to the warning issued by TaiwanAdiz, Penghu Marine Volunteer Chen Jinchuan also discovered a suspected Chinese-made AIS beacon in the waters east of Wang'an today (2nd). It has been salvaged and sent to relevant units for processing.

Chen Jinchuan said that because the beacon is completely different from the simple AIS used by ordinary fishermen, a special hexagonal wrench must be used to open the cover of the beacon and turn off the signal source. It is completely different from the quick switch function required by a fisherman's offshore operation. Therefore, it is suspected that it was used for measuring tasks at sea with ulterior motives, and it has been salvaged and handed over to relevant units for processing.

Chen Jinchuan has been monitoring this batch of Chinese-made special AIS for three years and found that these Chinese-made AIS signals will suddenly appear from the waters north of Mutou Island when the wind and waves are extremely strong, and then drift to the south of Maoyu, Qimei South, and even the east-west Jinan waters, and then suddenly disappear.

Coincidentally, Taiwan ADIZ also issued a warning. The central line of the strait is far north. Multiple TIELONG buoys have appeared since October 22, and even appeared on the seaside of Jiupeng Base in Pingtung, triggering the sensitive nerves of the Taiwan military. Braving the dark night and poor visibility, they must immediately fish them up and hand them over to the military. Although it is called TIELONG and seems to be just a buoy, by recording the trajectories of these buoys and considering the actual weather conditions, we can know what kind of weather and conditions the water flow in the Taiwan Strait will be in. This can be used as a reference for crossing the sea and attacking Taiwan, so we must be extra careful.
