## Resource

China is ramping up its maritime presence off Taiwan’s east coast under the guise of a “special maritime traffic law-enforcement operation,” inspecting nearly 200 vessels and “rectifying” three for rule violations — a move experts say signals a new strategy of “near-shore governance” to assert sovereignty without costly military drills. Taiwan is defiant, ordering its ships to ignore boarding demands and preparing to intervene, while Australia, the UK, France, and Germany warn against unilateral actions and stress the need for dialogue. China insists its operations are legitimate and urges the U.S. to tread carefully, as tensions simmer over control of the region.
