China's naval maneuvers near Taiwan intensified over the weekend, with Taiwan's Defense Ministry reporting 14 warships, seven military aircraft, and four balloons in the region.The heightened activity follows Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te's visits to Pacific allies, including stopovers in the United States, which Beijing strongly opposed.
How Did Lai's US Stopovers Escalate Tensions?President Lai's visits to the Marshall Islands, Tuvalu, and Palau—three of Taiwan's 12 diplomatic allies—alongside brief stops in Hawaii and Guam, have been a focal point for China's ire.Lai's calls with U.S. congressional leaders during his U.S. stopovers further fueled Beijing's dissatisfaction.
