Shadow Fleet: China’s ‘Fishing’ Militia Unveils Sophisticated Blockade Drills, Raising Taiwan Alarm
China's 'fishing' fleet recently executed unprecedented, highly coordinated maneuvers in the East China Sea, widely interpreted as sophisticated blockade drills by its maritime militia. These 'grey zone' tactics, involving thousands of vessels forming precise formations, are seen as a serious threat to Taiwan, aiming to disrupt vital commercial traffic and challenging international law by blurring the lines between civilian and military actions. Global governments and industries are urged to plan for potential sea lane blockades and enhance identification of these dual-purpose vessels.
