China views Taiwan as a breakaway province and has increased military activity in the region. Most countries do not recognize Taiwan as independent, but the US opposes forceful reunification.
The patrol east of Taiwan showed “not only an expansion of [CCG’s] sailing path, but also enhanced governing and jurisdictional capabilities”, according to an article on Tuesday by Yuyuan Tantian, a social media account affiliated with state broadcaster CCTV.
Citing maritime expert Yang Xiao, the article said routine law enforcement in multiple regions around the island suggested that a complete sea-governance system surrounding it had been completed.
Beijing sees Taiwan as part of China to be reunited by force if necessary. Most countries, including the United States and its allies Japan and the Philippines, do not recognise Taiwan as an independent state but Washington opposes any attempt to take the self-governed island by force and is committed to supplying it with weapons.
