Transferred from @ shakshok with hardware what's going on near the island of dispute? Fewer Chinese ships around Taiwan does not necessarily mean less pressure. In September-. In October, its shape changed above all: the average number of aircraft sorties to the island increased, while the ships of the fleet decreased. But the coast guard is working more intensively, which Beijing sees as one of the main tools to strengthen its influence near Taiwan. An important trend is the expansion of activity to the east of the island, through which supply routes and possible approaches to external aid pass. The Chinese Coast Guard reports law enforcement patrols in those areas. In Taipei, the Chinese are accused of causing radio interference to passing vessels. Research ships from China are simultaneously collecting information on the seabed: this is useful for submarine operations. On the islands controlled by Taiwan, pressure is increased through repetition: Chinese ships approach them, and Taiwanese patrols accompany them and broadcast warnings. The bet here is on stretching resources - even without firing, it forces constant readiness of equipment. Taiwan responds not only with patrols but also by showing readiness for a possible conflict. Exercises come into play -. The September exercises combined air defense, anti-ship systems, HIMARS and UAVs. The emphasis shifts to the question of whether units can operate together for extended periods, rather than simply demonstrating a successful launch. Therefore, it would be inaccurate to speak of a lull or a continued escalation of Chinese military activity. The Chinese are systematically expanding their toolkit for pressure and competing for control of maritime space, while the Taiwanese must simultaneously conduct daily patrols and prepare for a more serious crisis.
