Description
Taiwan says two Chinese coast guard ships patrolling off its east coast are radioing passing ships and claiming a jurisdiction Taiwan calls fictional. Taiwan sent its own ships to monitor them. Chinese state media showed one of the ships radioing that it was carrying out law enforcement. China has run regular coast guard patrols in the area since June, and Taiwanese officials believe it’s practicing for a possible maritime blockade. On Oct. 31, China also sent a coast guard ship near the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands. Navy SEAL veteran Mike Ritland breaks it down. #military #Taiwan #China #coastguard #militarynews
