Taiwan Says It Drove Off 16 Chinese Ships, Accuses Beijing of 'Hybrid Warfare'
Taiwan's Coast Guard said it confronted and expelled 16 Chinese coast guard, research and fishing vessels accused of coordinated "maritime harassment" around Taiwan's main island and Pratas Island. Taipei described the simultaneous operations as "hybrid warfare," while Beijing, which claims both Taiwan and Pratas as its territory, has sharply increased the number of vessels deployed near the island in recent months.
