Taiwan fires water cannons at Chinese fishing boat near Dongsha
Original: Maritime Deterrence | Taiwan uses water cannons to repel a Chinese fishing boat after it repeatedly refused orders to le
Taiwan's coast guard used water cannons to drive away a Chinese fishing boat that repeatedly ignored orders to leave waters surrounding Dongsha Island. The incident underscores ongoing tensions in the Taiwan Strait, where Chinese vessels frequently operate near Taiwan-held outposts, prompting Taipei to reinforce its maritime deterrence measures.
Why now: Rising cross-strait tensions are making each Taiwan-China maritime encounter closely watched.
