Notably, starting September 2020, China has deployed more aircraft and navy vessels in the Taiwan area as part of its stepped-up military operations. It is accomplishing its security goal by using gray zone strategies.

Following China’s extensive military exercise surrounding the island, Taiwan President Lai Ching-te earlier called a high-level national security meeting to reassure the people of the government’s resolve to eliminate any danger to Taiwan’s democracy and security.

His comments followed the announcement by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of military exercises, called “Joint Sword-2024B,” in the Taiwan Strait and its environs, which the Taipei Times said was a “stern warning” to proponents of Taiwan independence.

In an effort to modernize Taiwan, Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te was present at the keel-laying ceremony for the Republic of China Navy’s (ROCN) new light frigate prototype at the Kaohsiung shipyard on November 4.
